The Rosebud
      Author Unknown

      When God calls little children
      to dwell with Him above.
      We mortals sometimes question
      the wisdon of His love.
      For no heartache compares with
      the death of one small child.
      Who does so much to make our world
      seem wonderful and mild.
      Perhaps God tires of calling
      the aged to His fold.
      So He picks a rosebud
      before it can grow old.
      God knows how much we need them,
      and so He takes but few.
      To make the land of heaven
      more beautiful to view.
      Believing this is difficult
      still somehow we must try.
      The saddest word mankind knows
      will always be "Goodbye."
      So when a little child departs
      we who are left behind.
      Must realize God loves children
      Angels are hard to find.

      A Letter to Mommy
      By Darlene Browning, Durham, N.C.

          Dear Mommy,

              I just wanted to let you know that
              I made it home.
              The journey wasn't an easy one,
              but it didn't take too long.
              Everything is so pretty here, so
              white, so fresh and new.
              I wish that you could close your
              eyes and that you could see it too.
              Please try not to be sad for me.
              Try to understand.
              God is taking care of me...I'm in
              the shelter of His hands.
              Here there is no sadness, no
              sorrow and no pain.
              Here there is no crying and I'll
              never hurt again.
              Here it is so peaceful when all the
              angels sing.
              I really have to go for now--I've
              just got to try my wings.

        God's Little Boy

              Mommy and Daddy,

              Please don't be so sad,
              I miss you so much too.
              It's beautiful here where I am,
              But I worry a lot about you.
              I sleep with angels watching me,
              there's only love up here...
              I'm never lonely or afraid
              'cause God's so very near.
              I walk with Jesus every day,
              He's very kind and sweet.
              Don't worry mom and dad,
              He holds my hand
              When we cross a golden street.
              I never cry or hurt myself,
              I see Grandpa every day...
              I play and laugh and sing alot
              and I hear you when you pray.
              Please mommy and daddy,
              Don't be mad at God
              You see, He loves me, too.
              And, even though you're not with me
              I'm really still with you.
