The Cord by Peg Meye

The Cord by Peg Meyer

We are connected
My child and I
An invisible cord not seen by the eye
It’s not like the cord that connects us till birth
This cord can’t be seen here on earth.

This cord does its work right from the start.
It binds us together attached to my heart.
I know that it’s there though no one can see
This invisible cord from child to me

The strength of this cord is hard to describe
It can’t be destroyed
It can’t be denied
It’s stronger than any cord man could create.
It withstands the  test
Can hold any weight

And though you are gone
Though  you are not here with me
The cord is still there
But no one can see.
It pulls at my heart
I am bruised, I am sore
But the cord is my lifeline as never before

I am thankful that God connects us this way
A mother and child death can’t take away.

I’m an Angel Now
One night I cried to Jesus as I sat beneath the tree.
I looked into the open sky and hoped He’d answer me.
I’m lost dear Lord, I’ve traveled far, But still I seem to roam,
Please light the way and lead me, Lord, I need to get back home.

I told Him of my burdens and the sadness in my heart:     
That from His gracious love, I’d never felt so far apart.
Why did you take my child, Lord? I cannot understand!
No longer can I touch his face, or hold his tiny hand.
I’m angry Lord, I’m missing him, I’m drowning in my sorrow.
Please help to heal my yesterday and face each new tomorrow.

It was then I heard his gentle voice and felt his presence near.
How I wanted so to hold him as I cried another tear.
He said, “Mommy I am an angel now, my spirit will be free.
I’m an angel now in Heaven, so please don’t cry for me.
I was chosen by our Lord above, and now I’m in His care.
When you need me, look inside your heart, I promise to be there.

No one can ever take away our bond with one another.
For I’ll always be your precious child as you will be my mother.
So if you cannot find your way, or the road to home seems far.
Just look up to the Heavens and I’ll be your guiding star.”

Mommy loves you Raphael.  I miss you.  Happy Birthday Honey.
