"When a Child is Called to Heaven"

When a child is called to heaven, leaving untold tears of grief,

It makes us stop and wonder why at times we have belief,

No comfort words can help to ease the pain you feel inside,

There's no light to light your darkness, there's a gaping, empty void,

But stop and think the reason, even though it's hard to try,

The reason you are grieving, many times you ask, "But WHY?"

The Lord needed your Angel, and your child is at His hand,

And praying that in time you will see why, and understand.
