Sophia's Angelversary

I can't believe it has been three years.  Still feels like yesterday.  I wish I was able to write Sophia's birth story.  Three years ago today I almost died, and she did die.  While it's not a story with a happy ending it is a story of undying love and faith.  And one day I hope to be able to sort through the feelings of that love and faith which are so intertwined with tragedy and suffering.

I'm just a little baby

 who didn't quite make it there;

I went straight to be with Jesus

 but I'm waiting for you here.

Don't you fret about me mommy.

I'm of all God's most blessed.

I'd have loved to stay there with you

but Heavenly Father knows what's best.

Many who dwell here where I live

 waited years to enter in.

They struggled through a world of sorrow

 and their lives were marred with sin.

So sweet mommy don't be sad.

Wipe those tears and chase the gloom.

I went straight to be with Jesus

from my lovely mother's womb.

Thank you for the life you gave me.

It was brief but don't complain.

I have all of heaven's glory

suffering none of the world's pain.

Thank you for the name you gave me.

I'm thankful for all you've done.

I'll be waiting here for you

in heaven up above.

I would have loved to stay with you

and lived life by your side,

but the Lord called me home

I know it's hard to understand why.

Thank you mommy for making me,

you made me out of love.

I can't wait for the day I see you again

so you can see what I've become.

I'm an angel here in heaven.

The Lord's here by my side.

He wants me to let you know

He's sorry he made you cry.

He has a plan for me up here,

and a plan for you here too.

Someday we'll be together again,

and this I know is true.
