My mother-in-law shared this special poem with me. I want to dedicate it to Mike's cousin Becky and her family. Tomorrow, May 10th, marks the one year anniversary of her newborn son returning back to be with his Heavenly Father. Baby Kevin was so perfect he only needed his earthly body for a few precious hours.
Welcome home, my son, I've needed you.
There is a great work here that must be done,
And no one else can do this work but you,
Welcome home, my son, I've needed you.
Your time on earth was short, I know,
But all the needed time was given you
To fill your mission there, and now it's through,
A greater, heavenly mission waits for you.
I know your earthly family grieves,
But they would have you do this work,
And I will comfort them, and solace bring
Into their hearts, replacing sorrowing.
You are bound by ties that last forever,
A choice son, born of goodly parents.
Death cannot separate, nor can time sever
The ties that bind your lives and love together.
And so tomorrow I will wear both blue and orange in honor of
our boys who are looking down on us from up above. We love you Beck family. You are in our thoughts and prayers on a difficult day.
Beautiful poem!
