Heaven's Baby Castle
copyright Beverly Stuive
For my son Josiah James Alexander born at 19 weeks gestation  April 4, 2001
In a baby castle,
Just beyond my eye,
My baby plays with angel toys
Money cannot buy.

Who am I to wish him back
Into this world of strife.
No....play on, my baby,
You have eternal life.

At night when all is silent
And sleep forsakes my eyes,
I'll hear his tiny footsteps
Come running to my side.

His little hands caress me
So tenderly and sweet.
I'll close my eyes and breathe a prayer
And embrace him in my sleep.

Now I have a treasure
That I rate above all other.
I have known true glory.
I am still his mother.

...but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. Is. 40:31
It's me your angel

Hi Zachie, it's me your little Angel Josiah
Just checking in with you.
I know you are sad because I'm gone
and Zachie, I'm sad too.
It's beautiful here in heaven where I am
There is such a lovely view.
But mostly when I'm sitting here
I'm looking down at you.
I see all your feelings, everyday when I look down.
I love to see you smile
and sometimes you frown.
But Guess what!!!
I have a job to do!
God saved it for your little brother.
I get to watch over you from the world.
So although you cannot see me,
and I know it's hard on you.
You'll surely see the benefits of the job God has me do
I love you Zachie.
And I love Rebekah and Naomi too.
Happy Birthday Josiah:o)
