A Parent's Loss
Little blue-eyed toddler, laughing at play
Serene in his own yard
Enjoying this day
His brother and sisters play nearby
-thinking they're safe, never wondering why
the next few minutes
would signal disaster
-although they are safe
under the eyes of their Master
Who can say why God would allow
this tragedy no one can understand now-
Was David's name already chosen
for those He would claim
to sit at His throne with body unmaimed?
His siblings walk away to play elsewhere
Maybe God's presence really was there
-since death claimed only one that day
but the youngest son couldn't get out of the way
The hurtling jeep was moving too fast
a driverless machine that in only one blast
would snuff out the life of this precious boy
who brought the family so much joy
No medicine strong enough to revive
this bruised, battered body, no longer alive
He dwells with the Angels, but the family mourns
-no longer suffering
his soul has gone
to Heaven where pain is to be no more
and God welcomed him through His golden door
We try to make sense of this horrible day
but anger and frustration still get in the way
We try and try to come up with a reason
but death knows no time, no place, no season
This little toddler rests now within God's arms
He'll never know pain, never know harm
Sleep peacefully, little one
Your suffering has ceased
In God's loving arms
there's now blissful peace.
