God the Father alone knows what you’re going through
Far more than friends or family can ever truly do
He alone knows the reasons why
Beautiful little (name) had to die.
He knows your pain, he sees your tears,
Your questions, anger, doubt and fears,
And around you very gently laid
Are His arms of love which never fade.
No one here can remove the dreadful pain in your heart,
The feelings of numbness, emptiness and being torn apart,
But memories of (child’s name) you must always keep in mind
As precious moments with her/him your hearts remember and find.
The Father has saved her/him from the pains of this earth’s strife.
And given her/him His most precious gift, that of eternal life.
His angels have carried her/him as with gentle wings they fly
Gently to be with the Father in His kingdom most high.
(name)’s precious in God’s sight and sits now on His knee
In peace and heavenly splendour which only (s)he can see.
(S)he was entrusted to your care for just a little while
To show her/him love and gentleness and a parent’s loving smile.
A short time of love you gave to her/him as in hospital (s)he lay,
Being ever present in her/his every precious day.
You gave her/him all the love (s)he needed here on earth,
No one could fail to see (s)he was of immeasurable worth.
May God now keep you safe and rebuild your lives and hearts,
As to you his unfailing love He gently imparts,
And know that by Him and all of us our love does you touch
And nothing we can do for you will ever be too much.
