This poem was written for Elizabeth, and is dedicated
to all the mothers who have lost one or more babies in utero

There’s a life growing inside me
Only a little longer to wait
I pray that God will hold him
In my womb ‘til his due date

So many babies I’ve carried
From a month until almost nine
I pray that God will allow me
To hold a live baby this time

My babies are in Heaven
They’ll know no earthly pain
I pray that God will love them
Until I can see them again

For years I have been longing
But my arms are empty still
I pray that God will bless me;
My dreams and wishes fulfill

I know He has a reason
For everything He does
Sometimes I pray God will tell me
Just what that reason was

Knowing would make it easier
To accept the loss I feel
But I pray God increases my faith
And shows me how to heal

Although I miss my babies
I know that He knows best
I pray that God enables me
To help others enduring this test

So I rejoice for the life within me
And patiently await his birth
And pray that my babies in Heaven
Are proud of their mom on Earth.
