Ponderings: The gift of life quick undone.

We recently lost our first baby through miscarriage. My husband's words communicate our grief perfectly.


The gift of life so quick undone -- 
Hard the news, worse the shock,
That burn'd my mirth hard as rock;
Yet never will I forget this one. 

He came as quick as he went
And filled our hearts with bubbling joy -- 
Not enough time to know if boy,
Yet still we know from Heaven sent. 

I live in hope, the day to come -- 
The promise of the season tell -- 
With joy, his cry a happy bell,
And I will hold in arm my son.
