DEAR CHILD OF MINE

Dear Child of mind,who died before your time.
I AM GREATEFUL FOR YOUR LIFE.
Though death brought the end of hopes and dreams, Still
I AM GREATFUL FOR YOUR LIFE.
Through you, I have known joy and sorrow, laughter and tears.
Through you, my life has been enriched, my compassion heightened,
And I am more keenly aware of the grief of others.
I AM GREATFUL FOR YOUR LIFE.
Now I draw upon my memories of you, some happy, some sad.
They keep you close in many ways.
They are priceiess, precious memories that help me bear the pain.
Through them I will learn to live again.
I AM GREATEFUL FOR YOUR LIFE.
I have been blessed by your life and left with your love.
I will share that love and strive to live to be a blessing to others.
Dear Child of mine, though you died before your time,
You are never far away from me. I have loved you in my heart of hearts and there I will love you through eternity.
I AM GREATEFUL FOR YOUR LIFE - DEAR CHILD OF MINE.

All though I have never lost a child (THANK GOD). My sister has, and I can tell you I don't know if I could handle it. It has been four years now, and every year we go to a ballon releast for people that has lost a child, and it is so beauiful and moving, it makes me count my blessing for my children.
So hug your children as often as you can.

I am putting this on for my sister, In memory of her son BENNETT. WE LOVE AN MISS YOU GREATY.
