Thought of you and closed my eyes
And prayed to God today
I asked "What makes a Mother?"
And I know I heard Him say.
"A Mother has a baby"
This we know is true
"But God can you be a Mother,
When your baby's not with you?"
"Yes, you can," He replied
With confidence in His voice
"I give many women babies,
When they leave is not their choice.
Some I send for a lifetime,
And others for the day.
And some I send to feel your womb,
But there's no need to stay."
"I just don't understand this God
I want my baby to be here."
He took a deep breath and cleared His throat,
And then I saw the tear.
"I wish I could show you,
What your child is doing today.
If you could see your child's smile,
With all the other children and say...
'We go to Earth to learn our lessons,
Of love and life and fear.
My Mommy loved me oh so much,
I got to come strait here.
I feel so lucky to have a Mom,
Who had so much love for me.
I learned my lessons very quickly,
My Mommy set me free.
I miss my Mommy oh so much,
But I visit her every day.
When she goes to sleep,
On her pillow's where I lay
I stroke her hair and kiss her cheek,
And whisper in her ear.
Mommy don't be sad today,
I'm your baby and I'm here.'
"So you see my dear sweet ones,
your children are okay.
Your babies are born here in My home,
And this is where they'll stay.
They'll wait for you with Me,
Until your lesson's through.
And on the day that you come home
they'll be at the gates for you.
So now you see what makes a Mother,
It's the feeling in your heart
it's the love you had so much of
Right from the very start
Though some on earth may not realize,
you are a Mother.
Until their time is done.
They'll be up here with Me one day
and know that you are the best one!"
Thanks for the poem, LeAnn.
I feel like every day is either the 7th or the 18th. Some days I'm happy and some days I'm sad. Some moments I'm happy and some moments I'm sad.
"For He is their life and the length of their days" - Deuteronomy 30:20








praying for you. Heaven's glory has got to be the most beautiful place...but I wish he could be here with you.

ReplyDeleteHi Megan,
ReplyDeleteMy name is Brittany. I've been following your blog for about a month or so now but haven't commented yet. I just wanted to tell you that I'm so sorry for your loss. You and your husband are so amazing and strong and it's obvious that your love for each other is so beautiful.
My husband and I just went through the miscarriage of our first baby. It's been so heartbreaking. The poem that you posted today really touched me. While we have different religious/spiritual beliefs, I still appreciated what the poem meant.
Anyway, I'm just a stranger who thinks about you and Brent a lot (Brent is my husband's name too :) and wanted to reach out and say hello.
Love, Brittany
Praying for you daily!

Two months is too little
They let him go
They had no sudden healing
To think that providence
Would take a child from his mother
While she prays, is appalling
Who told us we'd be rescued
What has changed and
Why should we be saved from nightmares
We're asking why this happens to us
Who have died to live, it's unfair
[Chorus]
This is what it means to be held
How it feels, when the sacred is torn from your life
And you survive
This is what it is to be loved and to know
That the promise was when everything fell
We'd be held
This hand is bitterness
We want to taste it and
Let the hatred numb our sorrows
The wise hand opens slowly
To lilies of the valley and tomorrow
[Chorus]
This is what it means to be held
How it feels, when the sacred is torn from your life
And you survive
This is what it is to be loved and to know
That the promise was when everything fell
We'd be held
[Bridge]
If hope is born of suffering
If this is only the beginning
Can we not wait, for one hour
Watching for our savior
[Chorus]
This is what it means to be held
How it feels, when the sacred is torn from your life
And you survive
This is what it is to be loved and to know
That the promise was when everything fell
We'd be held
We'd be held
This is what it is to be loved and to know
That the promise was when everything fell
We'd be held
I still think and pray for you and Brent everyday!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful poem.
ReplyDeletePhilippians 4:7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

ReplyDeleteHe is the most precious little angel that Heaven has :) I'm counting on him to help me through my first day of school tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteI just want you to know I pray for you every day. I cannot imagine standing in your shoes. Although I love my little dearly one I get frustrated from time to time. Then I read a post like yours & have to thank God for the opportunity to see her through the easy days and the not so easy ones. She's my princess & I can't bear the thought of not having her in my life. Praying for you & Brent!!!
ReplyDeletePraying for you and your husband. It is so hard to say goodbye.
ReplyDeleteThat poem got me through a lot of tough times when my son passed away. I would keep it under my pillow -now it is framed by my bedside.
Take care of yourself!
Praying for you guys.

ReplyDeleteI never stop praying for you love... Cohen sure has one amazing Mom.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe it's already been two months. Lots of hugs and prayers for you guys.
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful poem. Every time I read your blog I think about my baby sister who also left this earth very early. I know that she is in Heaven with our Heavenly Father. I am so glad to know that they are taken care of and don't have earthly worries. Sometimes life is very hard and can be a struggle to get through, I know that is is worth it though. Thinking of you, even though I don't know you. <3
