Joshua's Away

Joshua only lived to be two years old. I will be writing a story about him and the gifts he gave to us. He was our grandson, but seemed like my own child.


Do not cry, he's just away.
Gone to heaven forever to stay.
He left this earth one sunny day,
when God and his angels took him
away.

He now lives in the land of
heavenly bliss, plays in fluffy
clouds and golden mist.

He flys down the milky way on
gossimer wings, listens to the
angel choir as they sing.

Joshua is at peace now,and lives
with our lord. There he'll dwell forever more.

His memory will remain in our
hearts, even tho we are worlds
apart.

Some day we'll be together again
when I'll meet him in paradise at
my lifes end,,, until then,,,
He's Only Away.

I really do believe and know we will meet our loved ones when we go to Heaven. The circle of life is plain to see and we accept God's words as truth. I get the feeling sometimes in middle of night that I will see all my family gone before me again and we will have lots of time to catch up on all and no pain and all get along well together. God has some mysteries we don't even know about yet, but will find out. I cannot wait and think you said a lot about Heaven and it is all true. You are so strong, much stronger than me, and I admire you for it. Glad you could post things like this on the den for a soul like me to read and think I am luckier than a lot of people, why am I sad. Blessings will come to us all at the end. And we all will live eternally with our Lord. It will be wonderful.

Oh Mary this is an exquisite write
about your Precious Joshua.
Surely, it is a blessing to be able to
write about his gift of life and love
he gave to you all. Yes, I would certainly say
He is an Angel!!

Thank you for the beauty of this poem.
Continued blessings and healing in your heart and family.

Oh this one broke my heart..... They are so precious but he is loved more now than we could ever love him he has the ultimate love... Doesn't make it any easier but it is so comforting to know he is with the one that said Heaven is for such the children...

Blessings,
Joselyn
