God's Newest Wonder

I don't pretend to understand the pain felt by parents who have experienced a miscarriage, but my heart aches for my husband's brother and his wife whose baby is being held by Jesus right now. The poem is written from the parents' perspective. Looking forward to meeting you in heaven little one. 

God's Newest Wonder

Hey there baby, I never knew a heartbeat

Could bring such joy.

Hey there baby, I even began to wonder

Would you be a little girl or boy?

But pink and blue turned to black and grey

 In the sudden wake of a single day.

So hear my lullaby

Sweet baby who’ll never cry.

I know heaven’s watching over you,

And that to this world God’s still faithful and true,

Though how I wish I could have first held you.

Here’s my love God, won’t you wrap my baby in it?

And thank you for the joy brought in fleeting minutes.

Right now the angels are in awe of God’s newest wonder

And I’m trying to remember we’re not forever torn asunder.

Even though my arms are empty, I still hold you in thought and prayer,

Waiting for the day I’ll touch your tiny fingers, toes, and hair.

Goodbye baby, forever I’ll remember.

Goodbye baby, that was due in September.
