Look Down

Heaven's just a wink away, That is what I've heard them say. So son can you hear me ? I hope the earth is as close for you, Because there's things I hope you do. Dear son can you hear me ? Look down on your son today, As he grows and learns to play. Dear son can you see him ? Do you see your family as they grow apart? I Know it is something that really breaks your heart. Dear son, do you feel that ? So Son, Can you hear me ? You are who made us A close knit family !

I believe he can see you. You commented on one of my poems that you too like to write about God, so I feel I can share this with you. I have taken comfort in thinking about the 'cloud of witnesses' (Hebrews 12:1), cheering us on to finish the race that's set before us. So I believe those of our loved ones that are with Him truly are surrounding us, cheering us on. Your loss is tragic, I cannot think of a deeper sadness than the loss of a child. I'm so very sorry. My prayers will be with you. <3
