It is with a heavy heart that I’ve put together my blog today because a dear friend’s child has passed away from cancer. I couldn’t come up with any words, so I’m using a poem I wrote for another friend who’s sweet boy died a few years ago. I ask that all of you hug your precious kiddos and pray diligently for those who are mourning the loss of a child.
My Sweet Tucker
The memories are precious. The moments are gone
A family left broken. It all just seems wrong
Why did this happen? Who can explain?
A brave little boy to suffer such pain
A life that is over before it could start
So sad and so tragic; it cuts to the heart
Sorrow and loss; anger and grief
Death brought the end and ran like a thief
No terms can express the loss of the young
Its music not written and words left unsung
Make no mistake. I hope in the One
He’s mighty and righteous. He gave us His Son
God’s walked this road; to watch His boy die
Knowing the pain and hearing the cries
His will goes beyond what we can grasp
Our life’s in God’s hands. He’s up to the task
Can’t help but question how this will end
I pray for His healing; a hug from a friend
Our good Lord will do what He does best
Just give Him our woes and He’ll do the rest
I will not despair. I will not give way
Hope is not lost. The ransom was paid
God’s holy word will guide me along
My soul will cry out till I can get home
Send me an angel to help me get through
Wrap me with love in all that I do
I hold onto faith with all of my might
God will make everything right
But baby, I tell you; I’ll miss you so much
Watching you sleep and feeling your touch
Goodbye for today our sweet precious child
We will meet again in Heaven’s vast wild
