My Daughter.

My Daughter.

I will not forget you.

I remember you, my daughter, from long ago; You were the reason for my pain, and for my traveling.

Will you put your little hand in my hand, your words in my heart and mine in yours, and let us walk and remember together, as I journey to forget?

Our words are the wings our dreams learn to fly with, and even after you left, my little one, I see that death cannot separate us,

Yet I am still looking for you.

So I wait, patient as the ocean, searching every face I see, in every crowd, for the smile of recognition that will never again meet my eyes.

I love you and long to hear your sweet, innocent heart and joyful voice again one day; Until then I walk, and I must not stop.

But this I know, Jesus is coming and you will hear His Voice in the resurrection, and rise.

Only then will I allow my tears to fall, and I will stop walking.

In memory forever,

Your father.

Welcome to the CC fellowship! I also have one of my daughters in Heaven. Previous to that, whenever someone I knew had a loved one depart, I would tell them not to grieve too long for we know they are in glory, joyous and would not want them to be sad. When my daughter, who was 33 and a Christian went to Heaven, I realized I had to take my own advice. Amazingly enough, a few days after, I was watching Christian TV and Joel Osteen turned to the camera and said 'Someone out there has just had a loved one leave and they want you to know they are very happy'. The next show had a little girl with long ringlets like my daughter had when she was little, and her name was the same as my daughters. I then switched to Daystar TV and Brian Lamb was talking and at the end said 'I don't know who this is for...someone just lost(in Heaven) a family member and he basically said the same thing J Osteen said.
I felt so at peace and thankful that whether a coincidence or a message from the Lord, I know my daughter loved me so much and would not want me to be sad. I'm sure the same is true of your daughter, God bless🙏🙌

Well, while the Kingdom is indeed coming, I would not recommend keeping your eyes on Joel Osteen. He is a deciever, who will answer for all he has done, but yes - keep your eyes always on the Lord, for He is returning soon. God bless you - and thank you.
