On wings of love we'd have laid you down,
Wrapped moonbeams round your sides,
We'd dim the light of distant stars
And sing you lullabies.
We'd linger round your cradle
As we'd gaze at you in awe-
To us you'd be as angels
Too perfect for this world.
You must have dreamt of Heaven
For you decided not to stay,
The angels came and took you
As under my heart you lay.
Now Jesus gently rocks you
In His strong and gentle arms,
We know now, little angels,
You are safe from any harm…
Lord, lay them down in a cradle of gold,
Tuck rainbows round their sides,
Cover them with Your angels’ wings
And if they ever cry-
Tell them Mum and Dad are coming
Just as soon as they awake-
Please kiss our little angels, Lord
And love them in our place.

Glenys, such a precious and beautiful way to remember your babies as you find comfort in the One who now holds them tenderly.
ReplyDeleteYou may wonder why each birthday I write about them. It's all I can do for them. It says that they existed and were loved. I didn't get to see them which was how they handled it back then. All I was left with was breasts full of milk and all I could do was give them a name. I named them after my two favourite Bible characters and wanting some form of connection to them- I named them after me. I hope Jesus tells them they didn't let me see them. It would have helped bring me some closure... oh, well, it's all in the past. I look forward to telling them myself one day....
DeleteTruly beautiful and touching 😢.
DeleteThank you. It was written for them and all other teardrop babies
DeleteThat poem brought tears to my eyes. It is so beautiful. I was never able to give birth but we were able to adopt a 4 month old precious girl who came to her forever home 4 days before Christmas.
ReplyDeleteLove to read your comments and pray for you and your husband.
May our Lord richly bless you.
Thank you for those encouraging words. I am so glad you have a precious daughter now. Thanks also for your prayers for us and for taking tea with me today. Be blessed!
