This Poem is for my dear friend Chandler, Love you sweetie!! And also for all you mothers who have a little one who went home to be with Jesus. May this poem bless your hearts!! May you lean on the good Lord, and he will carry you through.

The Mother's Jewels

I have a little darling

That sleepeth near my heart,

Whose beauty and whose sweetness

Ten thousand joys impart.

Love smileth  on her features,

And warbleth on her tongue,

And guideth all her actions,

So innocent and young.

A joyous little creature,

All full of mirth and glee;

Now dancing on my knee,

More precious far than rubies,

Or diadems of gold,

Is she, my little darling,

Who's scarcely one year old.

I have a little daughter,

Whose face is very fair,

With eyes of heaven's azure,

And soft and silky hair.

Her tiny, dimpled fingers

Are ever at their play,

While her unceasing prattle
Doth mimic all I say.
She saith her little prayers
Low bowing on my breast;
And giveth all a sweet good-night
Ere she repairs to rest.
O grant, my blessed Savior,
That her young heart and mind,
In childhood's tender hours,
Be heavenward inclinded!
I have another jewel,
 The brightest of the three
A precious hidden treasure,
Which now I cannot see.
Far, far away in heaven

This lovely gem doth shine;
And though I cannot see him,
I know he yet is mine.
And when life's woes are ended,
And all my toil is done,
Again I shall embrace him,
My own, my cherub son.
How oft our sore bereftments
Are blessings in disguise!
God has prepared a mansion
For us above the skies."
And thus to bring us to him,
In his unbounded love,
Untwines the spirit's tendrils here,
And fastens them above.
