[tri-wings] looking for poem

Hi Susan,
I just looked through Sophie's things, I think this the poem you mean. We put 
it in the paper when she died and many people rung me to say how lovely they 
thought the poem was.
I'll lend you for a little while
Some babies of mine, He said
To love and care for, while alive
Then mourn when they are dead
It may be days,or weeks, or months
Or one year, two or three
But until I want my babies back
Please look after them for me
They'll bring their charms to gladden you
And if their stay is brief
You'll have some lovely memories
As comfort for your grief

Dear Lord who art in Heaven
Let thy will be done
For all the joy these chilrden bring
The risk of tears we'll run
We shower them with tenderness
And love them while we may
And for the happiness they give
we'll forever grateful stay
And should the angels call
Much sooner than we planned
We'll brave the bitter grief that comes
And try to understand...........

love sharon x
