Death of a Child – Words of Sympathy

Sorry I didn’t get to stay.
To laugh and run and play.
To be there by your side.
I’m sorry that I had to die.

God sent me down to be with you,
to make your loving heart anew.
To help you look up and see
Both God and little me.

Mommy, I wish I could stay.
Just like I heard you pray.
But, all the angels did cry
when they told little me goodbye.

God didn’t take me cause He’s mad.
He didn’t send me to make you sad.
But to give us both a chance to be
a love so precious .. don’t you see?

Up here no trouble do I see
and the pretty angels sing to me.
The streets of gold is where I play
you’ll come here too, mommy, someday.

Until the day you join me here,
I’ll love you mommy, dear.
Each breeze you feel and see,
brings love and a kiss from me.

Dora – Words of Sympathy

She knelt upon her brother’s grave,
My little girl of six years old—
He used to be so good and brave,
The sweetest lamb of all our fold;
He used to shout, he used to sing,
Of all our tribe the little king—
And so unto the turf her ear she laid,
To hark if still in that dark place he play’d.
No sound! no sound!
Death’s silence was profound;
And horror crept
Into her aching heart, and Dora wept.
If this is as it ought to be,
My God, I leave it unto Thee.

(by Thomas Edward Brown)
