All of us get these random emails send by friends, family and spammers. But, rarely would I ever think of forwarding them, and never before have I taken the time to write about on here on my blog.
All of that changes today, because today I received the most touching chain email of my life. Maybe "Chain" email is not the right word, maybe inspirational sharing is better. What ever the title the result was the same.
After reading the poem written by Cameo Smith, I was beyond moved. Finally a person who decided to write something not demanding action from the government, or sorrow for the parents. No, this was an email helping everyone see that these children are okay, and in the best of hands.
So please take a moment to read the poem below and share it with your friends, family, coworkers, etc... and remember how lucky you are to have those people to share this with.

When 20 beautiful children stormed through heaven’s gate.
Their smiles were contagious, their laughter filled the air.
They could hardly believe all the beauty they saw there.
They were filled with such joy, they didn’t know what to say.
They remembered nothing of what had happened earlier that day.
“where are we?” asked a little girl, as quiet as a mouse.
“this is heaven.” Declared a small boy.
“we’re spending Christmas at God’s house.”
When what to their wondering eyes did appear,
But Jesus, their savior, the children gathered near.
He looked at them and smiled, and they smiled just the same.
Then He opened His arms and He called them by name.
And in that moment was joy, that only heaven can bring
Those children all flew into the arms of their King
And as they lingered in the warmth of His embrace,
One small girl turned and looked at Jesus’ face.
And as if He could read all the questions she had
He gently whispered to her, “I’ll take care of mom and dad.”
Then He looked down on earth, the world far below
He saw all the hurt, the sorrow and woe
Then He closed His eyes and He outstretched His hand,
“Let My power and presence re-enter this land!”
“may this country be delivered from the hand of fools”
“I’m taking back my nation. I’m taking back my schools!”
Then He and the children stood up without a sound
“come now my children, let me show you around.”
Excitement filled the space, some skipped and some ran.
All displaying enthusiasm that only a small child can.
And I heard Him proclaim as He walked out of sight.
“in the midst of this darkness, I AM STILL THE LIGHT.”
