Happy, excited, and full of joy
The Lord has blessed us with a baby girl or boy.
We went to the Lord and let our desire be made known
And asked for His faithfulness to be shown.
He heard and He answered with this reply,
"I have heard you, and send blessings from on high."
The days dragged on, the long days passed
And it was time to see the doctor, at last!
We were so excited to get a good look
But then, a different turn it took.
Something went wrong, I could tell by his face,
As he said, "There is no longer a baby in place."
"What do you mean?" I cried in defeat!
"Your little one no longer has a heartbeat."
My world crumbled, my world fell apart
As pieces began to chip off of my heart.
No longer was it only my baby's heart at stake,
Now this mommy's heart, too, was starting to break.
And as I cried, each drop fell tear by tear
And then I heard my Father's voice loud and clear,
"My child, you are hurt, and know not what to do
But I love you, and I am not through.
I heard you, and I answered your prayer
And again I will prove that I am always there.
Though you long to kiss your baby's face,
He's much better off cuddled in God's grace.
For up on my lap he's surrounded by love
As God's peace is poured on you from above.
How my heart aches as I feel such loss
But my God understands, for His baby died on the cross.
I question, and wonder, and don't understand why
But my God sent His baby to die.
My Jesus bled, and My Jesus, He died
So one day, your mommy could hold you with pride.
Because of this, Lord, let your will be done
Even if it's through my daughter or son.
Fill my heart with joy and peace
So through me, your glory will never cease.
As the potter, mold your servant, and make me like clay
And use this little life to bring you glory each day.
And my precious one, I'll hold you one day
Thanks to my Lord, who has paved the way.
When I see you, your sweet hand I will hold
And together we'll walk the streets of gold.
So when my work on Earth is through,
What a gift to get to hold you!!
But until that day, my little one,
You stay cuddled up to the Son!
I love you and will hold you soon!!! Love, Your Mommy

Holly, how sweet is this poem! I am so proud of you and Stephen, and continue to pray for you each day. My heart breaks for you, and I can't wait to meet my precious niece or nephew one day.
Holly-
This was beautiful and speaks so clearly every feeling you have been feeling. I know your heart is heavy and things don't make sense but you and Stephen are being such examples of how we should handle the hard times. I am so proud of you both!
What a sweet poem Holly! I was so sad to hear the news when D told me. I've prayed for you and Stephen during this time of loss. Keep focused on God, He will heal you all in time!
Holly, I've been blogsurfing tonight and came across your blog. What a sweet poem! Miss Helen told me of the sad news a few weeks ago. I can't imagine what you and Stephen have been going through, but I pray that your hearts will heal soon.
Hi Holly,
This is Dana, Ashley's friend from TCU. Your poem is such a beautiful picture of how God has met with you in this trial. Thank you for sharing...so encouraging!
Blessings to your family,
