- In my travels through the internet I am struck by some of the stories of courage and strength I have come across. Recently I posted some Dreamsicle graphics to my homepage. I started getting some remarkable E-mails and guestbook notes. Mother's who have lost their babies to SID's and other catastrophies, asking me if they could use My Dreamsicle and Precious Moments angels on their babies memorial pages. As I visited their sites, my heart opened to these brave women and their families. It takes courage to reach out to the world in the face of such tragedy. In an attempt to try to get past their pain and put some meaning to their experience they are reaching out to help others who have suffered similiar loss. Last week I was working on my Precious Moment graphics when I came across this angel wiping the tears from a girl's face. I felt that God must surely send His angels to comfort these special moms that He selected to nurture His special babies. I found the following poem on Tiffany Lorraine Ladner's Memorial page. With her mom's permission I want to share it with you;
I'll lend you for a little time...
A child of mine He said.
For you to love while she's here
and mourn for when she's dead.
It may be six or seven years....
or twenty-two or three,
But will you,
'til I call her back...take care of her for Me?
She'll bring her charms to gladden you,
and should her stay be brief,
You'll have her lovely memories
as solace for your grief.
I cannot promise she will stay...
since all from earth return,
But, there are lessons taught down there
I want this child to learn.
I've looked this wide world over...
in my search for teachers true;
And from the throngs that crowd life's lanes...
I have selected you.
Now will you give her all your love...
not think the labor vain?
Nor hate Me when I come to call...
to take her back again?
I fancied when I heard them say...
"Dear Lord Thy Will Be Done",
For all this joy Thy child shall bring...
the risk of grief we'll run.
We'll shelter her with tenderness...
We'll love her while we may,
But should the angels call for her...
much sooner than we'd planned,
We'll brave the bitter grief that comes....
And Try To Understand !
