IN PASSING

It was completely a chance-meeting;

just the sort of thing truly unplanned,

except by God; man would give much complaining,

if told, and would never understand.





But  God's  Way  IS  Perfect,

although His ways  seem  imperfect

to us;  finite eyes   cannot see far,

and  finite eyes   shed many a tear.





It  IS  an awful world, the one here,

if we lose sight of The Guiding Star.

When we must release what we would protect,

God's Way is not what we would select.





It was completely a chance-meeting,

one little new angel-like being

from its Heaven to our earth coming.

One other precious little life returning.....





.....called Home, untimely, it may seem,

with these first four words spoken

in the INTERLUDE, the time between  : :

"Hi, Sissy!", "'Bye, Bubby". This token : :





A  Treasure  lent from  Heavenly store.

Sent for our Love's refining; God's reminding

of a precious, perfect life, now and forever more.

Our treasure waits in Heaven; God's Promise binding.























~~INTERLUDE  BETWEEN  HEAVEN  AND  EARTH~~

IN     PASSING



"Hi, Sissy!"

"B'ye, Bubby."



"Oh, wait Sissy; you were just now there;

is a place ready for me there?"



"Yes, Bubby, your place is all ready.

There are hearts there that are all ready, too;

special people there who are just waiting for you;

they will take better care of you

than the angels never could."



"Sissy, will any angels be there? Because I love my angels.

Will I be as loved down there as I am here, in Heaven?"



"Oh, Bubby, there will be much MORE love there!

They will love you like the angels never could.

You will be SO very special there.

They have been waiting to love you for a long time, now.

There they will give you a name,

and a language to speak of Love;

they will teach you what Love is;

and they will teach you how to love."





"Oh, Sissy, it sounds so wonderful!

How will I know these wonderful ones?  What will I say?

How will I know their names?"





"Oh, Bubby, you will greet them in a loud voice!

And their names.......well.....you will just call them

Mommy and Daddy."
