Welcome Home, Little One - revised Welcome Home, Elizabeth

I re-wrote a few words so "Little One" could be used for any child's memoriam,

                               0                    o                     O
    O           o                    0        o

"Welcome Home, Little One"

With a huge smile, Jesus reached out His hand
to welcome His Little One.       
She only hesitated a moment           o        0
before she reached toward Him,
and He bent down and lifted her          0
in His strong arms.
As soon as she was encircled in the safety of His arms,
she gave Jesus a big, lovey hug,         
completely unafraid,          o                    0
and snuggled close as He began
to sing a happy melody just for her.  
                   
                                       o                       o        
0
A tiny smile began
to turn up the corners of her mouth,
growing, and curving her rosebud lips,       0
until she and her Friend
broke into giggles together.           O
Then, as the giggles became peals of laughter,
they could see bubbles of joy   o                 0
floating high in the air,                   o
making tinkling sounds,
as though the angels were
playing giggle-tunes on musical bells
just beyond the nearest puffy white cloud.

Little One was home.


Jesus said,
"Permit the children to come to Me;
do not hinder them;

for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.
"Truly I say to you, whoever does not receive
the kingdom of God like a child
shall not enter it at all."
