Does Heaven Hold a Flock of Butterflies
(a four year old in Heaven)
Does Heaven hold a flock of butterflies
That flitter flower to flower
A sweet meadow where a little boy
Could chase them hour by hour?
Is there a special room for trains
And toys that little boys like
Do they have skateboards to ride
And for toddlers, are there trikes?
And when I join you there someday
Will you have aged at all?
Or will my same bright eyed four year old
Answer this loving mother's call?
I do not know if we stay there
The same age forever more
I only know Heaven will be sweeter
Than anything we've known before.
And if I see a toddler
Come running to welcome me home
Or if I see a grown up young man
I'll recognize him as my own!

You must find a way to combine these blogs! This is too good to miss! I'll have to start reading both!
Beautiful poem Thena! I love it!
this is so beautiful, is this the one you wrote for my friend about her little boy that died, Daegen?
Thena, this is so beautiful. I can't believe this is the first time I've made it to your blog. I'll be a regular now.
This is so beautiful and fits so perfectly for me. I lost my lil boy when he was four years old two years ago and could never find just the right poem. Thank you so much, I love it so much.

Thena, I love your blog. I have a link to yours on my blog http://beckysscrap.blogspot.com/
This poem is so fitting, My story is not about a little boy, but my father-in-law. A couple months after he passed away i was sitting on our deck and a butterfly landed on my arm and sat and visited a while. I thought it could be dad visiting because it has never happened before or after. Thanks for sharing your words with us
Hugs & Blessings
Becky
