Child Death

This poem has been a help to us – written by a man who lost his wife:
SHOULD YOU GO FIRST
Should you go first, and I remain
To walk the road alone,
I’ll live in memory’s garden, dear,
With happy days we’ve known.
In spring, I’ll wait for the roses red,
In summer, lilacs blue;
In autumn, when the brown leaves fall,
I’ll catch a breath of you.Should you go first, and I remain
For battles to be fought,
Each thing you’ve touched along the way
Will be a hallowed spot.
I’ll hear your voice, I’ll see your smile
Though blindly I may grope;
The memory of your loving hand
Will buoy me on, with hope.Should you go first, and I remain
To finish with the scroll,
No dark shadows shall creep in
To make this life seem droll.
We’ve known so much of happiness,
We’ve had our cup of joy;
The memory is one gift of God,
That death cannot destroy.Should you go first, and I remain,
One thing for sure we know;
We’ll meet again in that bright land
Beyond the golden shore;
God’s great salvation we’ve received
Through Jesus’ matchless Name,
And in Heaven, reunited,
We shall never part again!by A.K. Rosewell

Beautifully written article. What an encouragement of our future hope for the life to come, seeing Christ primarily and seeing our loved ones lost whom He saved secondarily. Keep on writing!

Your words echo my heart of hope: one day closer to eternity with our Lord and with my boy.
”Heaven will be our glorious HELLO”.
