Written for my daughter-in-law after a deeply revealing email she wrote to me |
Though your heart is aching And your soul is filled with grief There is comfort in knowing There is a recipe for relief The heavy burdens you carry Weigh you down with sorrow and pain But dear heart there is hope And you can know peace again The sorrow of your past You carry with you every day Rest gently my loved one For there is peace on the way To bare your heart and show the sorrow Can be a very soul wrenching thing But reaching out to your loved ones Will true happiness, peace and solace bring. The beloved daughter Hailey Whom you lost at thirteen weeks Rests safe in the arms of Jesus And through the veil of memory peeks You are never alone dear heart She is with you as you run life’s race Soon you will hold your beloved daughter And look upon her face Your daughter knows you are her mother So fear not beloved one Hailey will be waiting for you in heaven When life’s journey you have run So be of brave heart my darling And enjoy your time on this earth Love and cherish the other children To whom you gave the blessing of birth Someday you shall all be reunited With you dear husband by your side Tears of happiness will replace The empty aching ones you’ve cried So dear heart let your heart and soul rejoice For within you is a dearly beloved soul The sorrow and pain you have borne thus far Will ease and in time make you whole |
