Poems of Lighthouse Bob
Heaven's Gift #284
This poem was written for my first grandchild, Cole Owen Lewis, who was born on June 18th 2005 and lived but a short time on this earth until he passed from this life to the next on August 6th 2005 where he now lives with our Heavenly Father and with our other much loved friends and family who have gone on before. Since his life was so very short lived, I am so thankful that I was able to spend what seems like such a short week with him now looking back in retrospect. Without regret, I can say without any doubt whatsoever that Cole, our perfect gift from God, was richly loved and is dearly missed. Heaven's Gift A castle up in heaven stood for all that was both pure and good and from that castle, sent below, a baby came whom we loved so. We celebrated, laughed for joy, and thanked you, God, for our new boy; We thanked you when he slept. We thanked you when he cried. We thanked you when we held him close and even when he died. For unto us, you gave a gift, a gift much like a dove who flew down form your castle, Lord, and filled our hearts with love. Love, Grandpa |
