Ode to Courtney

It's hard to understand, why God calls one so young, innocent, and sweet,
To come into His presence, and sit down at His feet,
But we're glad she no longer suffers, and that there is no more pain,
And we truly know that our earthly loss, is really Heaven's gain,
Now I imagine that she's missing all her loved ones, but don't miss being here,
And in the eternity she's now in, she's found death was not to be feared,
Though so young all that she's done, will be remembered year to year,
And though we will, she would not have us shed, even one tear,
We truly miss you today dear, miss your wit and all your charm,
But we are thankful knowing, you are safely in our Savior's arms,
We have the promise and the hope, that one day again we'll see,
Our daughter, granddaughter, sister, and friend, our beautiful Courtney.
