A Message to God Dear God, please take care of my little girl. The one with big eyes and soft brown curls. She was so special, as you should know, I really didn’t want her to go. She touched the hearts of everyone she knew. Letting her go was so hard to do. Her smile could brighten up the darkest room. I wish you didn’t have to take her so soon. Could you sit and rock her and read her a story? She’s probably afraid, please tell her “don’t worry”. Tell her mommy and daddy love her And we wish she could be here, But it won’t be for many more years. She loves to sing all kinds of songs, Please tell her that she did no wrong. Will you comfort her and hold her In your arms tight, And tell her she is missed every day and night? Please tell her she is loved so very dear. I’ll say it every day for her to hear. Her short life on earth is now completed, For lessons I’m sure you felt I needed. Tell her I promise to see her again someday; When that will be, I really can’t say. I promise to make up for the time that’s past, To hold her and comfort her, in my arms at last.

Perhaps you sent a lovely card Or sat quietly in a chair. Perhaps you sent a floral piece, If so, we saw it there. Perhaps you spoke the kindest words That any friend could say; Perhaps you were not there at all, Just thought of us that day. Whatever you did to console our hearts, We thank you so much whatever the part.

God looked around his garden, and found an empty place. He then looked down upon the earth, and saw your tired face. He put his arms around you, and lifted you to rest; God’s garden must be beautiful, He always takes the best. He knew that you were suffering, He knew you were in pain. He saw the road was getting rough and the hills were hard to climb, so he closed your weary eyelids, and whispered, “Peace be thine.” It broke our hearts to lose you, but you didn’t go alone; for part of us went with you the day God called you home. Love, Aunt Monique
