Baby Jack

Your tiny fingers grasped mine,
so perfect and beautiful.
Your eyes shone,
I wondered if you could see me.

I am glad for the time I had with you,
however short.
But I will see you again,
I am sure of the promise.

The tears fall and grief comes,
though we know God has you in His hand.
We look toward the day,
when you can run and jump and sing.

You are here for a short while,
yet your life is so important.
God knows the time
when you will be welcomed into His arms.

You have known the love,
of many in your life.
We cherish the gift of you,
and are thankful for the time God let us hold you.
