Out Of The Mouth Of Babes... Poem by Sharon Smith

When I was a little girl
Around four or five I'd say
I used to sit and look out the window
at different times through the day.

There was an elderly couple walking
past my place on this fine day
I loved to watch them holding hands
they looked so loving in their way.

I remember feeling..oh so warm
My heart so happy to see..
these two people.. yes still in Love
even though they were elderly.

I watched them walk side by side
My chin on my hand did lie..
Then You gently..oh so gently
Told me...'one is soon to die'

I remember being so..so still
I did not say a word
Just..'oh no'..in my head
My heart breaking..this You heard.

So..so still..I sat and watched
Eyes full to the brim with tears
'How could one..leave the other..
after all these years'?

'One will be so lonely..
Oh..they'll be so sad..
What will one do without the other
Oh..that will be so bad'



Now You tell me here today
That You were with me..way back wheres
And listened to my heart so very intently..
amongst one of its very first prayers.

And now I see You had written..
For those also..who ask the same
That soon there will be no more death.
A gift from Jesus Christ..Your Name!




Rev..21
And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
