God speaks to a grieving mother

[paganbaby]

"I`ll lend you for a little while, a child of mine," He said,

"For you to love while he lives and mourn when he is dead."

"It may be six or seven years,"

"Or twenty-two or three,"

"But will you till I call him back,"

"take care of him for me?"

"He`ll bring his charms to gladden you, and shall his stay be brief,"

"You`ll have his lovely memories as solice for your grief."

"I cannot promise he will stay,"

"as all from earth return,"

"But there are lessons taught down there I want this child to learn."

"I`ve looked the wide world over in my search for teaches true,"

"And from the throngs that crowd lifes lane, I have selected you."

"Now will you give him all your love- not think the labor vain,"

"Nor hate me when I come to call,"

"to take him back again?"

"I fancied that I heard them say,"

"Dear Lord thy will be done"

"For all the joy this child shall bring,"

"the risk of grief we`ll run,"

"We`ll shower him with tenderness and love him while we may,"

"And for the happiness we`ve known, forever grateful stay."

"And should the angels call for him much sooner than we planned,"

"We`ll brave the bitter grief that comes, and try to understand."

I lost my son 8 months along after the first time my ex husband brutally beat me ... there is no pain equal to the loss of a child ... just none
