For James John
Surrounded by love in a meadow of green,
Our baby is with us, though no longer seen.
You'll never face turmoil; you'll never face strife
As your special soul has eternal life.
We may not have answers, we may not know why?
Apart from a plan which is meant from on high.
We'll see you again, of that we are sure
As we join you in heaven when we exit life's door.
Martin
Martin and Vicki's son, James John, was stillborn in July 2001. They have since had a healthy baby.
