This was written upon receipt of the news of the death of the child of some dear friends

I heard the news today and wept.
It's just not fair or right.
Something happened while she slept,
For she awoke in Heaven's light.

Why does God need her today?
I will never understand.
It shakes my faith I must say,
Though I know He has a plan.

So say a prayer for those still here;
That they can somehow make it through.
The sting of death we no longer fear,
Because she will be there for us, too.

For now we mourn her earthly time,
A precious life, so young and sweet.
We too, shall pass and then we'll find
His new angel in Heaven where we will meet.
