A Loved One Lost

You came as a gift from God
A ray of sunshine in our lives
The love and comfort of friends we got
But also at touch of pain and sorrow

But peace we feel because we know
You've gone to a better place
No pain, no hurt nor any hard blow
Can even touch your face
Where you have beauty beyond compare
And when the dark clutches of evil
Can never reach you there

Yes, joy abundance we feel
To know that heaven is real
For one day we know we will also
Shed all of our tears and sorrow
Though beautiful golden gates we'll go
To meet the Creator who loved us so.

dedicated to my late sister, Grace

Authors Note : I wrote this for my mother. She had a still birth a few years ago when Grace was about 7-8 months old in her womb. The incident brought our family closer inspite of the sad nature of it.
