From the very beginning I loved you,

As I made plans to hold you and rock you;

You were tiny and helpless as you lay in my womb,

But something went wrong and soon you were gone.

My young heart was broken, my tears fell like rain,

I'd never known such heartache and pain.

I wonder who you look like, me or daddy,

Do you have my smile and his eyes?

Would you have been big and tall or tiny and small?

We had dreams for you that reached to the skies.

It was long, long ago and I still miss you so,

Thanks to Jesus, I'll see you in heaven.

I'll hold you in heaven someday,

When my trails on earth pass away;

The angels have rocked you,

The Father watches over you,

I know you're waiting for me:

I never could hold you or tell you "Goodbye!"

But I'll hold you in heaven someday.

Note from Lois: Be sure that your eternal destination truly will be Heaven.  Don't take that for granted.  If you need help, please e-mail me (contact information).  Jo Ann Taylor offered to give out her personal e-mail address in "Heart to Heart" and pass it on to any hurting moms who may have experienced a loss in miscarriage.  She said, "Talking with someone else who has been there is extremely helpful in the healing process and being able to talk openly about their babies is helpful also ... That's what I'm here for."  ofm@mtnhome.com   Thanks, Jo Ann, for your vital ministry and for your willingness to communicate personally with "Heart to Heart" ladies.
