When A Child DiesA Poem by Sheila MooreI wrote this about a little girl named Maddie, who died from complications of severe cerebral palsy when she was two years old.When a child dies the world can't see the reason that lies behind what's meant to be The world's filled with grief it can barely endure overwhelming disbelief pain raw and pure When a child dies the world can't hear the cessation of cries of torture and fear The world's filled with despair anger and sadness a loss so rare causes suffering madness When a child dies the world can't touch where this angel flies home to Jesus Where he takes her by hand to Heavenly skies the world can't understand when a child dies Copyright 2004 Sheila Moore © 2010 Sheila MooreReviews
