When God sends forth a tiny soul,
To learn the ways of earth,
A mother’s love is waiting there,
We call this wonder, birth.
When God calls home a tired soul,
And stills a fleeting breath,
A Father’s love is waiting there,
This too is birth, not death.
Deepest condolences to the family at the passing of my cousin – and your sister/ mom/ grandma
