With love for our third child, Michael Gerard.
Oh sweet little one, whom my arms long to hold
Heaven's gain is our loss.
Playing in It's fields, skipping along
with your sister hand in tow.
Just mine for a little while,
though I guess you never really were.
Made out of love with a beautiful soul
Never blemished by the world.
So perfect and innocent
So holy, our little Saint
Waiting for us to whisper your name
and pray.
Oh joy and sorrow of a precious short life
made in His image and born into light.
We call you by your name
our child we know you, though unseen.
I see your face when I close my eyes,
and hear your voice in my heart.
Together one day, we'll eternally be
and our family, finally complete.
So perfect and innocent
So holy, our little Saint
Waiting for us to whisper your name
and pray.
So sorry for your loss, Dacia. I just went through a miscarriage myself - we were expecting our second, whom I lost around 8.5 weeks. It is very hard (for me, I think it was physically harder rather than emotionally), but you are right - we have babies waiting for us in heaven. I very much liked one thing I read recently - that having a miscarriage means spending your whole life on earth as an expectant mother, because even once the babies that you have here have grown and gone, you still have a child yet to meet in heaven. I am praying for you.
ReplyDeleteAbby, I am so sorry for your loss as well. It is hard. I love what you said about us being expectant mothers our whole lives. I've never thought of it that way. Thanks for your prayers, you and in mine as well.
ReplyDeleteOh Dacia, I'm crying as I read this beautiful song. I am deeply sorry for your loss. You are in my prayers daily, and I will particularly pray that the Lord will ease your pain during this time. That is a perfect name for your sweet baby.
ReplyDeleteThank you Louise, you are so sweet.
