today was the funeral of a family's little girl and the father wrote a beautiful poem in memory of their daughter. i hope he doesnt mind that i post it, i just felt so touched by it..
from heaven above to families below.
Heavenly Father sends children, to be loved and to grow.
you arrived a bit early, twenty-four weeks and two days,
one pound and ten ounces. oh you were so brave
your short little life was full as could be.
from heartbreak to miracles, you helped many to see.
you inspired not one, not two but all who came near.
we learned to pray with a purpose, to let heaven draw near.
your eyes fused shut at the start of your trial.
we pleaded with heaven, your body so frail.
as the days went along, you became healthy and strong.
your body so small became chubby and long.
your eyes opened up, so wide and so bright.
we could not help but see your great light.
you came to the earth to follow God's plan.
your life had a purpose; we saw it so grand!
at thirteen weeks and four days, we said our goodbyes.
we love you, we miss you, especially those eyes.
to heaven you go to await the great day.
when your body will rise for always to stay.
we love you, we miss you, you are ours forever sure.
one day we will hug; as for now, we endure.
as we are faithful, God's promise assures...
keep smiling little "bright eyes". God's peace is now yours
RIP Jessica Stone.. you are an inspiration of strength..
