Where Are You Going My Little Lamb?
"Phyllis Higginbotham"
May 1998


Where are you going my little lamb? Why do you leave my side? You're much to little to travel alone, so why not with mother abide?

For months you nestled beneath my heart, and my excitment and joy was unknown, yet before you've hardley tasted of life, you're leaving your mother alone

our family was to have been complete when to you i had given birth, but now i see through anguished tears you were'nt meant to grow up on this earth

What? ....speak louder my precious lamb, for i can hardly hear your voice,
You say God missed you in heaven so much he had to make this sad choice.

So now you've come to the river my child, and you must cross to the other side,
go quickly,go quickly , my darling lamb,for my tears i'm unable to hide

Now you turn and look into mother's face,and i feel your longing sensation,
But wait ,,,there is more...there is joy untold, there is excitment and antisipation

For you know you'll be back in your fathers arms, and no life on this earth can compare, to the joy, the happiness and the love that awaits MY baby up there.

As i turn and i look to the rivers edge, i know you wont cross it alone, for Jesus is waiting with arms open wide to carry my angel back home.

Oh yes, go swiftly, my darling child, for you must go on with out me' But one day soon we'll be together again and i'll hold you through eternity.

In loving memory of Dakota Russell Farrell
