Eternal Day
Written by Vonnie   
Saturday, 17 October 2009 00:00

If tomorrow you should wake to find,
that the lord has called me home.
If tonight I heard him calling me,
and you were left to carry on.

Take faith in all the love we shared,
for our hearts had beat as one.
Listen to the song inside,
of the broken heart, that must live on.

For you are still apart of me,
and I apart of you.
And it's the love we shared in life.
that lights the way to see you through.

For life is just a passing thought,
a moment in God's plan.
But we all must take the journey home,
when guided by God's hand.

And when we meet on the other side,
all storm clouds rolled away.
Our souls shall walk in the perfect light,
of God's eternal day.

Dear Vonnie
how beautiful was your poem about your sweet girl
I too have lost a child - much younger than yours without the history and memories you have
but I too understand the emptiness of what we had anticipated for our offspring
You will see her again, it is part of her journey and of yours -
I will pray for you sister mother
in love and light
