Eternal Love

BY Amy Ostertag

Did you feel the cuddle of an angel
as you left my sweet embrace?

Did you feel warm winds of Heaven
blowing on your tiny face?

Did you close your eyes to Mommy,
and awake to Father there?

Did your fingers reach from my face,
to touch His face, His beard?

Did you hear the howls of Daddy?
Oh, we wanted you to stay...

You left our laps for a little while,
How our hearts hold you each day!

Our love can span the chasm
and reach you where you are,

And Heaven, for a moment,
it doesn't seem so far.
