Excellent type of poetry and we'll thought out. I liked the style, short, prompt but full of meaning. I highly recommend it to others. So powerful attributing everything to the Almighty

    Thank you so much for your review--and rating. A very dear, young friend lost her month-old baby and it was only by turning to the Lord for strength and comfort that brought her through.

    What a painful challenge. May the good Lord bless her with many more kids.

I don't think there's anything worse than the loss of a small infant, in whom the hope of the world is placed in, never seeing this beloved morsel of humanity grow into a productive and hope-filled youngster realise, but we have to realise that they are in the very bosom of love personified, beautifully written my friend, blessings Roy

    Thank you so much, Roy, for your review -- and your rating. It's always good and uplifting to hear from you. This was written for a dear young friend who lost her little girl, just a month or so old. It affected us all deeply. God bless you, dear friend!

I am so sorry for your loss, I can't imagine what it must feel like to lose a small baby and I am so sorry that you are feeling such grief now. Your words are endearing and heartfelt, love Dolly x

    Dear Dolly, Thank you so much for your kind review. A dear young friend lost her daughter, just a month or so old and was, as you can imagine, devastated. It affected us all but, while the outlook was dark, the uplook was bright and shining with hope.

A wonderful tribute or poem which is told in light of losing a child. I'm sure when this happens many ask why? I did everything to prevent such a tragic loss. Losing a precious child was never part of your plan. With her death, you lost dreams and plans, many that you hadn't voiced to anyone, except to Jesus.

    Dear Rosemary, Thank you so much for your heart-touching review. Someone once told me, "The outlook may not always be easy but the uplook is great!" The hope of a happy reunion makes such a separation easier--especially when Jesus is holding that child in His arms!

Losing a child will put your belief and your faith to the test!
It did for us...
See my March 12 post-
"Gods Little Angel"

Our faith kept us strong through that trying time of despair.

My condolences to you.
John

    Dear John, Thank you for your sharing your heart and your experiences. A very dear young friend lost her baby daughter, just a month or so old. It affected us all deeply but knowing that she was in the arms of our loving Saviour was what made it bearable. God bless you!

A very moving and poignant poem. The death of a baby must be impossible to bear. Yet the speaker here wins through, after spiritual struggle and turmoil to an acceptance and faith in Christ as Redeemer.

    Thank you so much for your insightful review and for giving it a good rating. A very dear young friend lost her month-old baby and, as you said, went through a spiritual struggle and turmoil but, eventually, held on to her Saviour and found peace and comfort.

This poem, Our Bundle of Love, calls on the impossible situation of losing a child and then accepting that it is God's will. Such challenges sound better in the pulpit than in the pews. Of course, time

    This loss was suffered by a very dear, young friend, but we all felt it deeply. It was certainly an exercise in faith that, at first, seemed to shatter but, in time, grew stronger. Thank you for your insightful review and good rating.

The loss of a child, regardless of age, is a very devastating experience. Thwe only Way I see one can survive that loss is to have their trust in God. I lost my son when he was 56 years old. i suffered 32 years of abuse but losing him was worse. i know where he is and now that I'm 86 years old I know it won't be long until our time of separation is over and we'll be together for ever more. God loves you and so do we.
