Is It Time?

I came across this poem while looking for the ultrasound photos of the baby that went to Heaven at @ 6.5 weeks in 2003...

It made me cry again today and I'm praying God has told our genetic child that yes, now is time... and their heart will be healthy and beating tomorrow at our ultrasound...

Is It Time?

A child sat on Jesus' lap in the splendor of heaven.

The child asked, "Is it time?"

Jesus parted the clouds, looked and said, "No, not yet child."

The child asked, "When will it be time?"

Jesus replied, "When lessons are learned, hardships endured, and loneliness lived, then it will be time."

Time passed.


The child asked, "Is it time?"

Jesus parted the clouds, looked and said, "No, not yet child."

The child asked, "When will it be time?"

Jesus replied, "When maturity is reached, self worth affirmed and spirits strengthened, then it will be time."

Time passed.

The child asked, "Is it time?"

Jesus parted the clouds, looked and said, "Their love is strong and their hearts are now open.  Yes, now is time- Your parents are ready."
