I've tried to listen to God explain
why babies are called home
It crushes a momma, a daddy and
it hurts family and friends
It leaves a scar on their heart as
they take the blame for their loss
They feel that God has punished
them for a sin they committed
I feel such sadness because God does
not punish us in such a hurtful way
There is always forgiveness he promised
if we ask for his forgiveness
I know that God had the wisdom to
see my child's future
To disease or accident perhaps, and he
knew that he called them home
I know heaven is full of sleeping angel's
waiting for for us to come home too
Who is to say that as I look towards
heaven, the twinkling lights are stars?
