Losing You (a poem on miscarriage)

 

Losing you was such a hard thing to go through

You brought such joy to my life

And I will always love you

 

But God loves you more than I will ever understand

He reached into my womb and carried you up in His hands

For it was His perfect plan

To save you from a world of sin that you will never know

A world that Jesus died for a long, long time ago

 

And I know that sin is not the only thing that you will never know

There are other things that kids like me had to suffer through awhile

Like bullies in your classroom who call you names, but it's just for show

 

Also, no mean teachers for you, my child

For I'm sure God has taught it all

No scraped knees and band-aids, for you will never fall

You will never have peer pressure, like smoking, sex or beer

No starving yourself, comparing yourself, of feeling that you're fat

Satan's lies have no place in your life so you don't have to worry 'bout that

No bad dates, spouse complaints, or long, hard tiring job

You work is perfect-praising God all day and singing His songs

Never will you see a life filled with war and hate

For up in heaven there's perfect peace that right now I can't relate

No sickness, no pain, no sad good-byes, no tears coming from your eyes

And most of all, you will never have to watch a loved one die

For God, your Perfect Father, will never leave your side.

 

And although I long to hold you in my arms and see your smile,

I know my pain and emptiness will only last awhile.

For I know that God is perfect, all-knowing, loving and true.

He took you home to be with Him, for He wants the best for you.

And even though I still ask "why" and feel sad every day

I know a time will come when God will bring me home with you to stay.

 

And when I'm finally there, what a reunion that will be

For face to face, I'll see my perfect, heaven child

Who is truly God's gift to me.

 

To be Free - Eating Disorders

 

You say you want to be like others

Well, what about being like Me?

Patience, love and kindness are better

Than skinny as skinny can be

Please don’t sit in agony when I can offer you peace

 

Child, I know you’re hurting because

I hurt the same as you

I cry the tears that you’re crying

But I long to wipe yours dry

 

You say it’s too overwhelming

And you can’t see the light at the end

Why even try, you say with a sigh

When this is my identity

 

But let me speak these words to you

Because to Me you are so

Perfectly funny, perfectly kind

Perfectly sweet and you’re perfectly Mine

But I’ll tell you the words you long to hear

You are perfectly, perfectly beautiful-all the time

 

Have you ever seen an eagle fly so gracefully?

He spreads his wings with confidence

 and soars the skies with ease

Step by step, He learned to fly

It took some time, you see

You can be free too my child if only you’d believe

That step- by- step I’m right here with you

And I”ll carry you in my wings

 

So take the first step to get better

It would mean the world to me

To see you soar with confidence

And to be free my beautiful child

To be free.
