Life is fragile
Everybody breaks so easily
Life is fragile
No one is immune
In the long run
Everyone must take their turn
With this lesson we don't wanna take
But we all have to learn
And I'll stay here with you
Knowing that Jesus is here to carry us through
And all through the night
I'll stay by your side
Until the morning appears
And the sun and moon collide
He'll carry us through
Lyrics by Phil Joel
My heart has been heavy over the last couple of weeks.
A precious little boy who I was privileged to meet as a wee babe in Starship two years ago succumbed to cancer and died in his mother's arms.
A 6 year old classmate of a friend's daughter died suddenly and unexpectedly two days ago.
I have ben holding my babies close as I consider the terrible grief and pain that these and many families go through upon losing a child.
Life is fragile.
