A Child Loaned
"I'll lend you for a little time
A child of Mine," He said,
"For you to love the while she lives,
And mourn for when she's dead.
It may be six or seven years
Or twenty-two or three,
But will you, till I call her back,
Take care of her for Me?
She'll bring her charms to gladden you,
And should her stay be brief,
You'll have her lovely memories
As solace for your grief."
"I cannot promise she will stay,
Since all from earth return.
But there are lessons taught down there
I want this child to learn.
I've looked this wide world over,
In my search for teachers true.
And from the throngs that crowd life's lanes,
I have selected you.
Now will you give her all your love,
Not think the labor vain,
Nor hate Me when I come to call
And take her back again?"
I fancied that I heard them say,
"Dear Lord, Thy will be done,
For all the joy Thy child shall bring,
The risk of grief we'll run.
We'll shelter her with tenderness,
We'll love her while we may,
And for the happiness we've known,
Forever grateful stay.
But should the angels call for her,
Much sooner than we planned,
We'll brave the bitter grief that comes,
And try to understand."
TO THOSE WHO MOURN THEIR CHILDREN
Do not weep because you think you have lost the fairest flowet in your garden.The truth is that the flower has been transplanted into a far more beateous garden where it sheds a greater perfume and is lovelier and more beautiful than it ever could be on earth.It has been spared many of earth's sadnesses and sorrows,It has been spared many cruelties and many blights.Your child will never know much that has darkened your own life.Rejoice that freedom has come to a young soul who will never be distressed by the many miseries that afflict your world.Do not grieve for your child;grieve if you will for your own loss,for you will miss the little radiant face,the childish prattle,the diminutive figure.But though your physical eyes cannot see and your physical ears cannot hear,your child is ever present.If you stop shedding tears that create a mist in front of your eyes you will see the truth that in god's kingdom there is no death and all continue to live in far better conditions in a world which is richer and sweeter than anything you've ever dreamed.Do not sorrow for your child,know that an all-loving god has given angels to protect her and your child will in fullness of time be reunited with you
