Born Straight Into Heaven
Joseph was due last Sunday, February 16, and this coming Saturday will be 6 months since we lost him. He has obviously been on my mind even more lately, so I wanted to share this beautiful poem that Katie, one of my sweet, wonderful sisters, wrote for me when he went to be with Jesus. Born Straight Into Heaven God trusted you with a special task That is not for lesser women. To carry His angel until it was time To be born straight into Heaven. He gave you a burden to bear But still a gift all the same. A child to share with Jesus Who will never know any pain. He may not have had a physical body Or lived a life here on earth. But oh, the stories you'll one day hear About his Heavenly birth. Your child will never suffer, Or even have to grow old. Instead he'll get to learn to walk Upon the streets of gold. Each day he'll play with Jesus, And hear an awesome bedtime story. So keep in mind he's happy; He
