I Never Got to Know You

by Janey Bowman

I never got to know you

Not your laughter nor smile.

I never got to know you

Not little nor long while.

I know where you’re staying now

So happy and so fair.

I know where you’re staying now

In God’s arms over there.

I know that you are happy

Playing on heaven’s ground.

I know that you are happy

For now you’re safe and sound.

I know that I will see you

Through God’s heaven we’ll roam.

I know that I will see you

When Jesus calls me home.

Janey wrote this heartfelt poem for her great granddaughter who was stillborn.
