Poem

In excited anticipation

You were longing for my birth

So much love was waiting

From my family there on earth.

But this was not His plan

And the question lingers-

Why?

Right before our meeting

Did you have to die?

This life is just a test

That I did not have to take,

All I needed was a body

You lovingly helped to make.

Dear mother and father you are so special

And were chosen for this chance,

To have a perfect angel

If only for a glance.

Although you cannot hold me

And look upon my face,

Please know that I am safely tucked

In the Savior's sweet embrace.

Now it's my turn to wait

How excited I will be,

When we are together

For all eternity.
