We were saddened to hear yesterday that one of our new nephews, Logan, returned to his Heavenly Father. Due to their early birth and fragile state we were never able to actually meet him. Nevertheless, his life has opened my eyes and blessed my life. One thing I know that the spirit has testified to me numerous times is the truthfulness of eternal families. I know this to be true, I have no doubts. Please keep Rachel and Clint and their family in your prayers.
21 blessed days
Three short weeks
You came and left far too soon
All watched as your life bloomed
The oldest brother of a group of three
Come here to earth to fulfill your Fathers command
Left too early to re-join your family waiting in heaven
Touched the hearts of so many while you were here
The joy on your parent’s faces as they spoke of you makes eyes well with tears
As they long to hold you and look at your little hands
The joy of your life and ache of your loss is something
Only one who has loved and lost a child would understand
Logan, your time here on earth was not long till Father called you home
The lives you have blessed will never forget you and with God’s love we are never alone

I was happy to go to Clint and Rachel's blog today and see that their two little boys are getting closer to coming home!
Your poem is very nice, and most appropriate for the situation. What a blessing it is to have an eternal perspective that helps us with the trials of this life.
Love you,
Mom
