A rose is plucked for god's hand.

I don't really know what to say. It's heart breaking. I had met the young lady in this video only once, but she profoundly touched me, and our home town.

It would be nice to live in a world where children only need be children.

 :pray

When God calls little children
to dwell with Him above,
We mortals sometimes question
the wisdom of His love.

For no heartache compares with,
the death of one small child.
Who does so much to make our world,
seem so wonderful and mild.

Perhaps God tires of calling
the aged to His fold.
So He picks a rosebud
before it can grow old.

God knows how much we need them,
and so He takes but few.
To make the land of heaven
more beautiful to view.

Believing this is difficult
still somehow we must try.
The saddest word mankind knows
will always be Good-bye.

So when a little child departs,
we who are left behind,
Must realize God loves children.
ANGELS ARE HARD TO FIND!

I don't believe God has anything to do with it.  I don't believe God takes children from their families.  Sometimes bad things happen.  It is the way it is.  That's speaking as a parent who has lost two kids.  There is no lesson learned.  There is nothing gained.  The world is not a better place.  No cliche's, poems or nice words make it better.  It just is.

My heart breaks for her family.
