Daddy, don’t be angry

And Mommy, please don’t cry

I’ve gone to stay with Jesus,

In His home up in the sky

 

There’s someone here who holds me

And sings me lullabies

She came up here before me

And I think that must be why

 

Tell my sister and my brother

that although I’m far away

I am now a little angel

And I’ll come and watch them play

 

I miss my sister Lily

And my brother Milo too,

I know that they will be okay

In all the things they do

 

We would have had adventures

Got in trouble, now and then

It would have been okay though

For the camaraderie with them

 

Be kind to sis and brother

When they err along the way

It’s how you scold and hold them

And the loving words you say

 

Tell them to be happy

And do their very best

For they will be my heroes

And life will be their quest

 

Dad and Mom, I love you

You gave your hearts to me

Our brief time together

Will last through all eternity

 

Daddy take care of Mommy

Her heart is broke in two

If you hold and hug her

It will help you too

 

Mommy take care of Daddy

He’s trying to be brave

His heart is very tender

For the words he can not say

 

I love you and I miss you

And there’s something you should know

I will be okay here

Jesus says it’s so

 

Yes, we were a family

And though I couldn’t stay

Just keep me in your hearts

And we will always be that way

Simply beautiful.  Many tears fell as I read it.  The second stanza references Christopher’s mother, the first person I pictured holding Silas in heaven.
