For a long while I don’t see anything. Just the blackness of my closed eyes. I don’t hear anything either, only the faint beating of my own worn out heart. A tear falls down my cheek and onto yours. I miss you already and you have barely gone.
After several minutes of silence, I hear a familiar voice whisper to my heart.
“He is in my arms and I will take care of him for you. You will see him again and he will remember you. But you need to let him go now.”
I begin to sob uncontrollably, my dead baby shaking in my arms.
Yet, although the pain is almost unbearable, I do feel comforted by a surreal peace surrounding me.
“He is yours, my Lord, he always was. I only wish I could have held onto him a little while longer.”
“There is much that can only be understood in the light of eternity. For now, be still, and listen.”
I listen attentively, and in the distance, light years away, I can hear a beautiful voice. He is singing with the angels, beautiful worship cascading across time.
“We shall call him, Shoor, the one who sings.”
I smile...Shoor...God’s minstrel.
A nurse enters the room to take you away. She reaches to take you away and is surprised to see the peace behind my tears.
“Your boy was a very special case” she says comfortingly. “He came out of you smiling, he seemed happy somehow. It is quite unusual, I am so used to seeing babies entering the world crying.”
“He entered the world singing”, I answer, “and he still is.”
