POEMS

A young man and a young woman fall in love
A love that is graced by the almighty God Above
Brandon and Christina will become Man and Wife
And out of this love God lets blossom a new life
But a life not meant to be, God wanted him too much
So he was taken to be bathed in God's gentle touch
We know not what, but God has a bigger plan
We know that Tyler is now safe in God's hand
We know he's safe but it's so hard to be apart
We will miss Tyler and carry him always in our heart
And rejoice in knowing that we will see him again some day
Where we will then understand why God had to take him away

WHEN GOD CALLS LITTLE CHILDREN

When God calls little children
To dwell with Him above,
We mortals often question
The wisdom of His Love
For no heartache compares with
The death of one small child
Who does so much to make this world
Seem wonderful and mild.
Perhaps God tires of calling
The aged to his fold
And so he picks a rosebud
Before it can grow old.
God knows how much we need them
And so he takes but few
To make the land of heaven
More beautiful to view.
Believing this is difficult,
But somehow we must try.
The saddest word that mankind knows
Will always be "good-bye,"
And so when little ones depart
We who are left behind
Must realize how much God loves
little children,
For angels are hard to find.
