You Kissed the Earth

You kissed the earth 

on tiny feet 

and missed your birth

 for God to meet. 

How we miss you, 

the life we felt, 

your heartbeat grew, 

Then, grief's pain was dealt!

Without goodbyes, 

no hug to leave, 

We still have ties, 

eternally.

In fetal sleep

You slipped away

For Christ's watchkeep

Where pure you'll stay

Wee. Premature,

To be with you

We will endure

We will stray true!

We light candles

And celebrate

You, Sweet Angel 

With love and faith!

Sometimes you wonder why did this happen?  This is the most amazing couple.  They are extremely healthy and active.  Then, I think, "Why not?"  And my thoughts turn to faith and gratitude. Then, I am proud to know them and their strength!
