REMEMBERING TUFFY ALWAYS

This is a week late, but I was traveling and unable to take time to post.  My Tuffy matters and is always remembered. I write him a new poem every year.  Here is the one to him this year.  Oh how I love him.  We celebrate his life on earth, but even more now in Heaven!  

Living!


Ten little fingers, ten little toes,

Most beautiful blue eyes and a button nose

Gorgeous long lashes, and hair as dark as coal

But the most captivating trait was your tender little soul!

On earth such a short time, but your legacy lives on forever

For the way you lived life, there was no such thing as never!

No matter what you faced, no matter all the pain

You lived so full of life in transparent joyful gain!

Before you were sick and until you took that very last breath

It was like you knew somehow, there was no real death!

Nothing held you down, nothing stole away your spirit

Strong and determined you were, with a pureness and merit!

Heaven just has to be big and beyond what we can dream

Or it wouldn't be fitting for you, or our amazing Christ the King!

What a gift to have seen you while you lived a while on earth,

But I simply cannot wait until I see you in your heavenly home now birthed!

Time marches on, but mighty slowly down here some of the time
Yet I hold on to the promise that its really but a blink of the eye!

I can just see you now, worshipping the One that led you home

My sweet little Tuffy, save me a place right near the throne!

I'm better every day for being mommy to you those 3 short years

It's hard to even explain the joy I feel even when I miss you until tears!

This year was just like last as I never stop needing to hold you close

Wanting to squeeze those chubby legs and kiss that button nose!

But I am joyful every day and I smile when I think of you

Because the memories are so sweet and the hope leads me through!

I tell the story often, to as many as I can

Of the miracles I witnessed daily as I held your little hand!

The suffering was not in vein, for lives continue to be blessed

You legacy is large my son, you passed your earthly test!

You fulfilled your purpose, beyond what a mom could ever dream

In just three short years of living, God's love through you was seen!

I love you Eathan Bryce, my little missionary from above

I miss you every day, your joy, laughter, and hugs!

This death date holds no sting, for I know the truth is clear

My sweet little boy is living far more than he EVER did down here!

Praise be to my Father, who loved us all so much

To send His one and only son to take the cruelness and such

From the sin that we have done, He laid Him on the cross

And because of that great gift, we really have no loss!

In a blink of an eye I will be with you, with joy I can't contain

Worshipping our Savior, with heaven as my gain!

Until that time just know right now, not a day slips through,

That my heart doesn't smile at my every remembrance of precious little you!

To my sweet Eathan on the anniversary of the day you leaped into Jesus Arms for eternity!
