Subject: to a baby From: JEAN PRATHER Date: August 15, 1999 During my research through obits and inscriptions I came across this written by a mother in S.C. I would like to share it with you. after sitting here typing names of babies and children from the stones You tell me not to worry That I must be brave and bold Well, I wonder if you ever lost A baby two years old Lost a baby bright and smiling Dancing eyes and sunny hair Dimpled cheeks so red and rosy He was pretty, He was fair Oh, he was my only baby Just had learned to say my name and if you had lost a baby I'm quite sure you'd feel the same But those darling lips are sealed No more I'll here him say Loves you mommy,I loves you As within my arms he lay Oh. when I go to bed at night I miss my darling so Seems like I can see him hear him For you see I loved him so and sometimes when I am dreaming In my arms he is again Then I'm happy to be with him But when I wake it brings me pain Yes, my darling one has left me Left me sad and lonely here But someday know I'll meet him Where I will never shed a tear For I loved him yes I loved him But the Saviour loved him more And now the Lord has called him To the hapy golden shore Seems like almost I can see him Playing in the streets of gold Oh!the little lamb is sheltered Safe within the Shepherds fold And I know that he is waiting At heavens gate so fair And someday I'll kiss my baby When I meet him over there Seems almost like I can hear him Say, mommy daddy here I am Here's yor baby waiting for you Now I'm Jesus little lamb Yes mommy and daddy's coming And I know it wont be long Till we join you precios Darling With that happy eager throng So then you tell me not to worry That I must be brave and bold You'd understand if you had loved, And lost a baby two years old But I pray you never Know, the heartache and the pain That I must endure forever Till in Heaven we meet again From his mommy Harmon Lee Bazzle 111 Feb 6 1990 ==== SCROOTS Mailing List ==== Go To: #, A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y, Z, Main |
