~ Wrapped In Love ~

There are some so very beautiful
Who were born to not grow old,
But shall stay delightfully youthful
With tenderness untold.

Life shall never hurt them
With heartache or with tears,
For they are kept perpetually guarded
From living on for years.

No grief will break their heart,
They will not see our death
The greater love is glad
From such sorrow they are kept.

Eyes to shine in endless brightness
Hair to keep that golden glow,
Velvet cheeks, soft as the dew
No wrinkles will they ever know.

Each day will be filled with laughter
Where delight can never cease,
To know only sweetest kindness
True love and joy and peace.

The Son will continually shine for them
And bright stars will never fall,
Held for all time in delightful wonder
Where fireworks enthrall.

God gave the loveliness of their life
For the giving of their all,
As He also gently carried them away
In answer to their call.

And there they are the very blessed
To be kept forever pure,
For how wondrous is the love
Where they always now endure.

Because they are so safe
Yet preserved constantly in my heart,
May they fly in joy while I set them free
Into their perfection above.

Oh Lord Jesus, as I weep,
Until I see their face
Please hold me in Your love.

Poetry from the Heart

And the time
comes when remaining enclosed
within the bud is impossible
when there's so much love
to bloom.
'blossoms'

Your greatest pleasure is that
which rebounds from a heart
that you have
made forever glad
'Henry Ward Beecher'
