The Greatest
Sorrow
by
Barbara Philbrook
The greatest
sorrow that a parent can ever know,
is losing their child, the letting go.
Still what is of
some comfort to me,
is knowing you'll be with Jesus for eternity.
To know you
accepted His outstretched hand,
and partook of His salvation plan.
Absent with the
body means present with God above,
being surrounded by His sweet love.
Never to know
pain to any degree,
brings some small comfort Dear to me.
Never to be sad
or shed a tear,
never to feel distress or tremble in fear.
The sorrow I
feel is for what I will miss,
I know for you there is nothing but bliss.
God is so loving
and reaches out to every man,
it is up to us to choose to accept His hand.
It is up to me
to seek and find,
peace within from a Father so loving and kind.
It is I who will
decide if we will be,
together again forever in eternity.
No man is
rejected who wants to take part,
who invites Jesus into their heart.
God is waiting
expectantly,
to hear what my own decision will be.
The greatest
sorrow that will ever be known,
will be by the ones who refused to be God's very own.
