Greatest Comfort

Greatest Comfort

You hated when we left for church

I could see a twinge of dread in your face

We dressed up nice

That's when you knew

But you couldn't stop it

We were going to church

The church nursery

I could feel your nerves

You cringed to my arms

"No...no...no..." you said

Not yelling, more like pleading

Your greatest comfort was mama and daddy

I would set you down

Your grip turned tighter

I wiggled you down to the ground

You wrapped your arms around my legs

Your eyes said, "Don't leave!"

Your heart sunk as I walked away

I hate the moment when you left this world

Dread fills my face at the mere though

We'll dress up nice

To say our last goodbye

I couldn't save you

You have gone to heaven

I grieve now

I am a ball of nerves

I cling to your memory

"No...no...no..." I say

Not yelling, more like pleading

My greatest joy was your smiling face

You used to cling to me at church

Your greatest comfort was mama and daddy

Yet there is one greater comfort

Jesus is the greatest comforter

Greater than mama and daddy combined

Cling to him as we cling to him
