goodbye sweetheart…

I prayed for you, God answered

I longed to hear your heartbeat, God answered….

 

Then…

 

I saw your beautiful eyes, they did not see mine

Instead your eyes saw Jesus

 

I touched your precious hands, they did not feel mine

Instead you are being embraced by Jesus

 

I kissed your lips, your head, your heart, you did not in turn kiss mine

Instead you are being kissed by Jesus

 

I dreamed of you growing up with your brothers, you will grow no longer here

Instead you will grow with Jesus

 

I imagined you and dad smiling and laughing together, this image I will never see

Instead you will be joyfully living with Jesus

 

My baby boy, my gift from God, Nathaniel

I sorrowfully give you back to Jesus

 

My whole heart aches, is shattered and broken

I place my broken heart in the hands of Jesus…where you are

 

One day I will see you again, I will hold you, I will kiss you, and I will hear you call me mommy.

On that day, you can introduce me to Jesus.

 

I love you…
