Now My Child Poem by Emily Casbourn

Now my child
I didn't take your loved one away
I only took the pain away
The pain that made everyone suffer as she prayed
I never harmed her
She's alive and well today
She may not be in this world
But she visits often
She tells us stories about adventures and quests
She rarely ever gives them a rest
It gives us all hope for the future
Maybe my child you don't understand
I took her to a grand old place
There is no pain and no medication
No one ever gets a cold
We watch over you all
My child you aren't alone
She lives on in your spirit and in your heart
She loved you and your family so very much
She might find that one person she has missed so much
He too always lives on in your heart and soul
So now my child do you finally understand?
Do you know who I am now?
Yes, I am your god
I created you by creating this world
I wish it were possible to give your loved ones back
But one day a real family reunion will be given
When my child you finally reach us in heaven
Tomorrow is a new day
New life begins on Earth and heaven remains the same.
