Did you hear it too?
They say that angels don’t appear nowadays.
Yet that’s what it was like, a mighty choir, joyful, glorious.
A strange song, ebbing and flowing like the eternal sea,
Far away beyond the stars.
Did you hear it too?
Perhaps I just imagined it. Wishful thinking. Was it all in my mind?
And yet the feeling was real. The love was real, overwhelming,
Beyond all human sense or logic, bright as the sun,
Dazzling my eyes.
Did you hear it too?
Did you hear it as your soul flew to the arms of your Saviour?
Did you know that you would leave us grieving?
Did you know how hard it would be?
Did you know that we would never forget?
Did you hear it too?
That majestic choir would have engulfed all other sounds.
All you would have heard was the music of the love of God.
One day we shall hear it too.
One day we shall all sing together.

Andy,
I have tears in my eyes! Your father has such a way with words!! Absolutely beautiful!
WOW!! Even though I didn't get the chance to meet Theo in person (showered him with kisses I would have) I will never forget and I look forward to the day I finally get to hold him and tell him how much we love him!!
May I share this?
Love lots!
Hello, Clare & Andy. My name is Lora and I'm the grandmother of beautiful little Lydia whose site you visited recently. I just wanted to tell you how sorry I am for your loss. Thanks for sharing your story. What a beautiful poem this was. Your son Theo was beautiful too. I wish I could knit like his grandma!
Hi Tonya,
Feel free to share the poem as you see fit!
Thanks for your comment
Andy
What a beautiful poem! Although it made me cry it also made me feel peace. Thank you so much for sharing. I noticed you posted on baby Lydia's website as well. It is so sad that there are so many of us out there with empty arms. I hope that we can somehow be a comfort to eachother. I think of little Theo everyday. I took your advice after my last depressing post and begged the Lord for peace. I finally found it after attending my church meetings on Sunday. I know it won't be the last hard day that I have (my two month mark is coming up this Thursday) but I need to remember that He is always there and He will always offer comfort. I am sure you, like me, miss and think of your little angel every second of everyday. I don't think it will ever get better, but maybe we just get used to the pain? I'm not sure but it doesn't look like the pain will cease anytime soon. I hope you are doing well... I still can't get an email out to you... maybe you could try me and then I could reply. cprisbrey@yahoo.com
from one Mommy of an angel to another...
Beautiful!
