Evelyn Grace Briese




Evelyn Grace, I never got the chance to meet you.
To say hello. To say goodbye.
No chance to see your sweet face, your tiny hands, your perfect feet.
So I am sorrowful, sister dear, but you are happy.
As the wise man *wrote, you are more blessed than both the dead and the living.
And your soul is rejoicing, and your spirit is singing, for you are with Him
and you are experiencing the joy of living with Him face to face.
So dear little one, I know that we will meet one day
and we will greet each other as we truly are; fellow sons of God.
And we will never have to say hello
or goodbye.


*Ecclesiastes 4:2-3
