I'll Be There

This has got to be the single most important poem I've ever come across. It was my mantra after losing Alexa, and I'm glad I had it tucked away in an email to her father. I can't seem to find it anymore in the search engines. I'm not really a believer in the Christian faith, as I was raised in it, but this one still tugs at my heartstrings.

Daddy, please don't look so sad,
Mama please don't cry
Cause I am in the arms of Jesus
And He sings me lullabies.
Please, try not to question God,
Don't think He is unkind
Don't think He sent me to you,
And then He changed His mind.
You see, I am a special child,
And I'm needed up above
I'm the special gift you gave Him,
The product of your love.
I'll always be there with you
And watch the sky at night,
Find the brightest star that's gleaming,
That's my halo's brilliant light.
You'll see me in the morning frost,
That mists your windowpane,
That's me in the summer showers,
I'll be dancing in the rain.
When you feel a little breeze,
From a gentle wind that blows
That's me, I'll be there,
Planting a kiss on your nose.
When you see a child playing,
And your heart feels a tug,
That's me, I'll be there,
Giving your heart a hug.
So Daddy, please don't look so sad,
Mama don't you cry.
I'm in the arms of Jesus and He sings me lullabies.
