One of the most difficult times in the lives of any couple, is when they are expecting a new baby, and suddenly the life of the baby slips away while still in mother's womb. It has been two years since we experienced this heartache in our lives. We have tried to find God in sadness. We know that He is there and resolve to love Him, though we may never understand the "why".
The grief that you carry will oneday subside
As we near heaven’s shore forever up there abide
The sorrow you felt in the cold doctor’s room
Will be forgotten up there where there’s no death nor
gloom
How we hoped for a child to both call our own
But in a moment was lost and God’s reasons unknown
You sobbed every night awake next to my side
Your tears I tried to prevent, my soul ached as you
cried
We both had high hopes of our having a child
I envisioned him robust but with your spirit ever mild
I could teach him to love sports and watch ESPN
And you could teach the piano to her maybe him
What a joy could’ve been to rear one we might share
Who loved us the same, not prefer other’s care
But in swift moment of time was all swept away
I hurt even now as I imagine that day
I am sorry for our loss, I wish it never had been
I know you haven’t forgotten what happened back then
But I want you realize that there’s coming a day
When in Glory we’ll hear a sweet little voice say,
“Welcome home, Mom and Dad, I’ve been waiting for you”
And he’ll say that he loves us, and he’ll hug us both
too
He is there with our Savior and he wants us to see
That we’ll one day embrace forever, o eternity.
We will all hold hands while walking down Celestial
Street
And we’ll hear all about Heaven from one we never did
meet
Oh the pain of his passing will end when we both rub
the face
Of this one that we so love up in God’s resting place
The empty, void feeling will no longer be seem sad
When our boy who’s gone, calls you, “Mom” and me, “Dad”.
WE LOVE ALL OUR CHILDREN,
BUT HOPED TO LOVE AND BE LOVED BY YOU ALSO
