A wee little girl lies sleeping;
She knows not what lies ahead.
For her parents, a nightmare is looming;
their hearts are filled with dread.
They prayed, they believed God would heal
their baby, the joy of their hearts;
but today, for their sweet little toddler,
infusions of chemo will start.
Still pray, frightened Mommy and Daddy,
though God seems to be so far away.
He loves you more than you can fathom;
He's with you each step of the way.
He knows the path you are treading
is frightening, dark and untried,
but He holds your sweet babe in His heart
and He knows every tear you have cried.
Why must babies suffer and parents' hearts break?
Such questions, we can't understand.
The Lord knows the reason that's hidden to us;
He holds you secure in His hand.
Even though you can't see His hand in your pain,
Some day He'll explain it to you;
then you'll know as He's wiping the tears
from your eyes,
Your God has been faithful and true .
"Trust in the Lord with all thine heart,
and lean not unto thine own understanding;
In all thy ways, acknowledge Him,
and He shall direct thy paths."
(Proverbs 3:5 & 6 KJV)
"...And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes."
(Revelation 7:17 NIV)

Beautiful poem. A child so precious in need of His love
though tears fill our hearts.
Blessings of love and grace,

On my husband's last day on this earth, I watched as his mother left.
He was not aware she was gone.
She could not bare to watch her "baby" die.
I wish she had stayed to see the peace on his face, so she would forever remember that instead of the pain.
He was in a coma, but when I whispered to him that we would be fine, that if god was calling him, he should go, he opened his eyes, and smiled the most beautiful smile. The look of total joy in his face as he looked into my eyes made my heart skip a beat, for it was at that moment that he died.
But to this day, I know that he was not looking at me, but into the face of God!
It has brought me such peace and joy in the face of such loss.
Wonderfully said and a poem that while sad, brings hope. Well done!!

A very inspiring poem to those cursed with that awful disease. But as you say, who knows why God does this, there is always a plan. Wonderfully written and so meaningful.
