After watching Caylee's memorial on CNN today, I was inspired to write the following poem...
A Special Piece of Heaven
There’s a special piece of Heaven
Where tiny souls that pass too soon
Bask in a brilliant star shine
As they dance across the moon
A huge, galactic, playground
There beneath the stars
Full of butterflies and lightning bugs
For them to catch in jars
No safety latches, no bumps, no scratches,
No mean ol’ bees with stingers
No scratchy shirts, no shots that hurt,
No doors to slam their fingers
No gates, no locks, no chicken pox,
No tangles in their hair
And multiples of everything
So they never have to share
They sleep each night on fluffy clouds
With rainbow pillow cases
‘Neath the loving gaze of Jesus
Angels’ kisses on their faces
Though our days seem an eternity
For those babes, time flashes by
God brings us swiftly to them
So they never have to cry
He took them on ahead of us
Just for a little while
‘Cause just like us, he needed
A sweet child to make him smile
