A Shining Star

SECTION 1
Ti

The child you carried 'neath your heart

And dreamed of for awhile

Is now a shining star above,

Making all the angels smile.

God called her, 'ere she made her way

To this world of cares and woe

She must have been so precious

For him to treat her so.

I'm sure He had a place prepared

For her --- up in the sky

Far exceeding  preparation

Made here by you or I.

He giveth and He taketh

And it's not for us to know

Why He would form this tiny soul

And then not let it grow.

So let not your heart be troubled

But rest your mind in peace

For the Lord is ever-loving

And His blessings never cease.
