HOLDING US BOTH
My little one, barely formed
I've never seen your face
In this life I'll never hold you close
And yet,
For just a little while my womb was your home
From the moment I knew your life was in me
I loved you
I touched my stomach and knew that you were there
A miracle was being woven
But something was not right
I lost you, my little one
Before I got to know you, hold you close or see your face
My dear little one
My heart cries out for you with such loss and deep sorrow
But I know the LORD will hold you for me
And one day I will see your face
My precious little child
And joy will replace the grief and loss
But until that day the LORD will hold us both.
