If Only You Could See (poem)

I received this via an email list I’m on for grieving parents. It was so uplifting to me today!

I know you’re feeling sad today

because I had to go.

I know you have so many things

that remind you of me so.

And though you cry as you recall

the times you spent with me.

I know your pain would turn to joy

if only you could see.

I’m in Heaven with Jesus now.

We laugh, we sing, we play.

He holds me gently in His arms.

I know no pain today.

And though we’re apart a little while,

Jesus has promised me

He’ll someday bring YOU here

where we’ll live for eternity.
