We would do everything to keep our children safe in our arms forever. Sometimes their time is shorter than ours and they have to go first to our heavenly father.

This poem very poignantly describes a parent's love for her children AND the wish to keep them young. I really like how you describe each child's actions, especially the description in stanza of the little boy climbing "that other gate and not looking back."

I liked the phrasing of your lines. It emoted a calm feeling. I was a little confused though...when you wrote Little Girl. I don't think it would've taken anything away if you had started the 2nd verse with Little boy and then wrote more information about him. It was a lovely poem nonetheless. Sorry for your loss.

    I love your comments. I guess I was think of any child, not just my own when I wrote little girl. Great ideas

What a shame! This is the second in sequence spoilt for me by the colour and size of print against background. And, I'm sorry I can't help; although others will if required. But, my elderly eyes struggled so much to follow the words, they lost the beauty that came so alive in your notes. Thank you for sharing, I am glad you are comforted by faith and many joyous memories. Blessings, Maureen*&*

This is so very nice and sweet. It is very uplifting and full of lines reading faith just as prompted. Fabulous. I would change the color of font because it's difficult to see. Maybe white or black.

Tragedy is always just around the corner and I have been unbelievably fortunate, after 82, years never to have turned that corner. As I come to the inevitable end, my fervent hope is that all my Children and Grandchildren outlive me.
