Empty Arms

A precious son to me you were though from my womb you did not come.
Your bright blue eyes and white blonde hair were just a part of your many charms.
I had to leave but wished to take you with me, dear, across the seas.
But I could not, so I was left, with an ache within my empty arms.

Such love and joy, they filled my heart, for you, the child of my precious niece.
Your soft dark curls and gorgeous eyes, the sweetest smile, the softest sighs.
She could not keep you, so you were to be mine, and we set about to make it so.
Then you dissappeared to my alarm and I was left with empty arms.

Your mother, she is fair of hair and your father, his is black as night.
Your mothers eyes are green and true and your father's are the lovliest blue.
A grandchild, what a joy for me, the very first I'd ever have.
But God saw fit to take you, dear, and I was left with empty arms.

A beautiful family awaits, with mom and dad, two brothers, too.
A sister also, and all the rest, all anxiously waiting just for you.
Another grandchild, you'll make nine, and each of you a precious jewell.
And then a phone call late last night, again I'm left with empty arms.

Cecilia....
its not over, till its over....
its not over yet.
your tears, are our tears also....
I pray that men and women of God will hold you up in encouragement and prayer before His Throne, at this time.
Sister, Woman of God....
my heart reaches out to you in your pain and my prayer is that He comforts you, gives you a divine revelation of His plan in your life and draws you into His arms, tightly, and His Love envelopes you and brings you peace, that goes beyond all your understanding.
God have Favour and Mercy upon this beautiful daughter of Yours

Hey redbird... I assume this must be about Becca losing a son...? Did he really have my blue eyes?

Damn! Now I have to start all over again. I need to find well you know...

Tell Becca I still love her and she can come to me whenever she wants or contact me whenever she wants.

I give you, Spotted Pup, and Becca a big warm secure hug from the inner holy places of my heart.

That's a big hug for you!!
You must be feeling blue...
Though you're a bird of red.

So sad 'bout what you've said.


What an elegant, touching expression of loss... ~sigh~

Thank you for sharing this... It is very strong!

God bless you. Yours in His love, Sharloa
