Beyond the Rainbow

I have another little child
Pure and innocent, undefiled
He stayed with us so little time
Yet brought such joy, this child of mine
And when our life was torn apart
A treasure formed, within our heart
A treasure no-one else could share
For God Himself had placed it there.

My child will never suffer taunts
Nor waken from a dream that haunts
Pain and sorrow never know
As we do living here below
He barely learned to dance or sing
Never played a harp or anything
But he has risen so much higher
And now he's singing in a choir!

My child will never break his arm
Be abused, nor come to harm
Never fall and scrape his knee
Or ride his bike into a tree
For he is safe in Heaven's fold
Riding down the streets of gold
Beyond the rainbow, hear him sing
All tucked up in an angel's wing.

And when my life on earth is done
This treasure, it will be the one
That waits for me at Heaven's door
To live with me for evermore
This little child was mine to share
To love and care for him down here
And though he's still so close to me.
Beyond the rainbow - he is free.

~ With Love from Grandma.
