Kristen shared this poem with us and I thought it so fitting, as it perfectly describes how we feel on a daily basis.
A Peek Into Heaven
Just one little peek into heaven,
Is all I’m asking for today.
I just want to know how she’s doing,
And heaven seems so far away.
Is she playing on the clouds with angels?
Is she laughing and running today?
Does she miss me?
I guess only she knows.
Oh why does heaven seem so far away?
If you just let me look for a moment,
To catch a glimpse of her sweet smiling face,
I promise I won’t try to take her,
I know, she’s in a better place.
Just one little peek into heaven,
Is all I’m asking for today.
I just want to know how she’s doing,
And heaven seems so far away…

This is a gorgeous poem. Thank you for sharing it as we share in the sentiment of wanting that glimpse at heaven
How I wish we could steal a peek at Brienna. I know she misses you both but I have no doubt she is as sweet and happy as ever and that she watches over us all everyday. Thank you, tiny angel.
Love, Kris
What an amazing poem. Laurie and Pat, I think of you very often and of Brienna whom we all wish we could’ve met. She is in a better place, but i know that doesn’t always make it any easier. Thinking of you and praying for you….
