I Knew You For A Moment

My precious little baby,
Your face I've never seen,
Your skin I've never touched before,
Nor held you close to me.
You lived inside my body,
But only for a while;
Till Jesus softly whispered,
"Come home my little child."
you must have been a special child:
If God needed you up there,
Because Heaven is a better home,
It's beauty can't compare.
So till I get to Heaven,
And see your shining face;
Jesus will take care of you,
And love you in my place.
Yes, Jesus loves his little lambs,
They sit around his throne;
So sit on Jesus' lap dear child-
Till Mommy gets called home.

The Cord

We are connected,
My child and I,
By and invisible cord,
Not seen by the eye.
It's not like the cord,
That connects us 'til birth,
This cord can't be seen,
By any on Earth.
This cord does it's work,
Right from the start.
It binds us together,
Attached to my heart.
I know that it's there,
Though no one can see.
The invisible cord,
From my child to me.
The strength of this cord,
Is hard to describe.
It can't be destroyed
It can't be denied.
It's stronger than any cord,
Man could create.
It withstands the test
Can hold any weight.
And though you are gone,
Though you're not here with me,
The cord is still there
But no one can see.
It pulls at my heart
I am bruised and sore,,
But this cord is my lifeline
As never before.
I am thankful that God
Connects us this way
A mother and child
Death can't take it away!

Dear Micah,

You were wished for, you were wanted, and loved. Though I never held you, I loved you with a deep love. You died before you were born and our eyes never met. I miss that I never got to see you face or hold your little hands, or nurse you close to my heart. I miss not feeling your movements and if it weren't for the pain, it would be as if you were never there. But I felt your presence , my dear little angel. And I weep as I write this in honor of you.

I've had many dreams; dreams of what you look like and how happy you are in heaven. And although your smile was never seen, you make a profound impact in our lives. You have changed us in ways we never imagined. You have made us want to go to Heaven, because I now see that it is the only place where true happiness dwells.

We didn't see your first steps or hear your first word, but your spirit echoes in our lives everyday. because of you I am a better mother, because of you I'm a better wife. With great grief comes great change. And though the change is full of pain, it has filled my heart with love, for you and for the Lord. When I cried bitter tears that seemed everlasting, the Lord wiped them dry and healed my heart. I can now laugh again, although when I cry I can still feel my heart ache for you. Your soul twinkled for but a moment, but your heart beats with mine for eternity. I love you dear Micah and I miss you.

In memory of the day we had to let you go, even though we weren't ready to say goodbye.

Love your Mom & Dad
I Will See You

Your Mommy and Daddy miss you so,
We are sad you had to go.

Your big brother precious as can be,
I know one day, you I will see.

Up in my fathers hands you will stay,
I can't wait to hold you on that glorious day.

Sweet Micah Ashlyn, up above,
You are an angel full of love.

Tiny-angel-babyface
Hope love and full of grace.

I know one day, you I will see,
Rest angel, little sleepy one, Love, your Auntie

This is dedicated to the memory of
