Oceans of pain swept over the shards on the floor, My head pounded from my grief. Twas just a little glass boat; Why do I miss it so? Children are delicate little vessels, Sent by the Heavenly Spirit, To be handled carefully, With Great Love. They carry important souls with pure hearts. So protect them from all harm. I love them so. When My child, A lovely gift from God, Died, The glass shattered, And My world ripped in twain.
