Her sister died in 1998 in Hilo,HI. <br />(Amber Lynn Brush,<br /> Oct. 20,1987-Feb. 2,1989)<br />This poem was given to me at that time. I wanted to share it.<br />God's Lent Child<br />"I'll lend you for a little while <br />A child of mine" God said - <br />For you to love the while he lives <br />and mourn for when he's dead. <br />It may be six or seven years <br />or forty two or three <br />but will you, till I call him back, <br />take care of him for me?<br />He'll bring his charms to gladden you <br />and, should his stay be brief, <br />you'll have his nicest memories <br />as solace for his grief. <br />I cannot promise he will stay, <br />since all from earth return <br />but, there are lessons taught below, <br />I want this child to learn.<br />I've looked the whole world over, <br />in my search for teachers true, <br />and from the things that crowd life's lane <br />I have chosen you. <br />Now will you give him all your love, <br />nor think the labor vain, <br />nor hate me when I come to take <br />this lent child back again?<br />I fancied that I heard them say, <br />"Dear Lord Thy Will Be Done" <br />for all the joys thy child will bring <br />the risk of grief we'll run. <br />We'll shelter him with tenderness, <br />we'll love him while we may, <br />and for the happiness we've known <br />forever grateful stay. <br />But, should thy Angels call for him <br />much sooner than we planned, <br />we'll brave the grief that comes <br />and try to understand.<br />- Author Unknown <br /> <br />http://www.whereangelswhisper.com/godslentchild.htmAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14914774224445211443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4455528872501953119.post-66738915953848120152011-03-22T07:40:36.130-07:002011-03-22T07:40:36.130-07:00i love the line in its a wonderful life where they...i love the line in its a wonderful life where they say that every time you hear a bell ring, an angel gets its wings. perhaps each time you hear those birds chirping, its taylor trying in her way to remind you to smile. <br /><br />i agree with the quote your counselor shared. taylor's touch has rippled beyond your immediate circle to places you will never know. what an incredible blessing for the rest of us. <br /><br />big hugs to you.momohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02314577864236887929noreply@blogger.com
