Do Babies Grow Up In Heaven?
Will I know my baby when we meet again?
Will he have grown up, not be the infant that died in my arms?
Will I recognize him, be able to find him among so many others?
Or will he be a stranger to me, not knowing who I am, or me knowing him?
Do babies grow up in heaven?
He never got his first tooth or said his first words.
No first shoes, no Santa, no first birthday cake.
Will my son still be a baby when we meet again?
Do babies grow up in heaven?
Who sings him precious lullabies?
Who holds him close and kisses him every day?
Who tells him constantly that they love him?
Do babies grow up in heaven?
When we next meet, will he know me?
Will he want to know me?
Will he be my son who died at three weeks, or a man, fully grown?
Will I have the joy of being a mother to my son for all eternity?
Do babies grow up in heaven?
Will I be able to hold him, love him, sing lullabies to him?
Will I be able to hold his tiny hand, or will it be a man's hands?
Will I ever have the joy that only holding my son can bring?
I need to know! In heaven, is my baby still a baby?

Don't think of him as gone away--his journey's just begun

life holds so many facets--

this earth is only one...

Just think of him as resting

from the sorrows and the tears

in a place of warmth and comfort

where there are no days and years.

Think how he must be wishing

that we could know today

that nothing but our sadness

can really pass away.

And think of him as living

in the hearts of those he touched..

for nothing loved is ever lost

and he was loved so much.
