Come my child, <br />Let me caress your comatosed self <br />For the last time; <br />Let me press my ears upon your body, <br />To feel your heaving breaths, <br />Let me hold you close to my chest <br />And kiss your little forehead and cheeks <br />And rock you in my arms; <br />‘cause it’s time I let you go <br />Into the greater hands that created you <br />Twelve years ago. <br /> <br />It was He who sculpted you <br />And placed you upon my desolate lap; <br />But today <br />He stands before me once more <br />To claim you back; <br />I can see His arms of Light –outstretched <br />To embrace you. <br /> <br />But how can I let you go, my baby? <br />How can I reconcile with this painful truth <br />That I can hug you and fondle you <br />And kiss you no more? <br /> <br />Come baby, let me hug you tight <br />No, no! I can’t let you go….. <br />But I must… <br />‘cause He tells me He will alleviate <br />All your sufferings <br />Once I restore you back to His custody. <br />He says you were never mine <br />You belonged to Him and Him alone <br />I was only a foster parent. <br />I don’t know if I am right or wrong <br />But I’m ready to wrench my heart <br />To let you go…. <br />‘cause I can bear your sufferings no more. <br /> <br />Take my child with you, O Divine <br />But do relieve him of his excruciating torments. <br /> <br />Go, my baby, <br />Let your illumined little soul <br />Be infused with the all-pervasive radiance <br />Of His supernal magnanimity. <br /> <br />My child, merge into the Light. <br /> <br />[Composed on the night before I lost my pet, my child].<br /><br />EU STRESS<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/letting-go-80/
