Did you light a candle?

Verse.....  "My groaning has worn me out.  At night my bed and pillow are soaked with tears."  Psalm 6:6 CEV




Thought for today.....  Its time to let God's love cover all things in your life.  All secrets.  All hurts...  (Max Lucado)




Song..... 




Poem.....   Did you light a candle?

Did you light a candle in memory of my child?

Or did you go about your life ignoring the pain I feel inside?

If my child had drawn a breath and walked upon this Earth

Would you have remembered and felt that life had worth?

Do you think that I'm not coping because I didn't give up?

Was I so foolish for hoping

For expecting a little love?

Do you think I should have more Faith

And trust God a little more?

Faith and Hope are all I have

Hope that my child waits for me at Heaven's door.

Don't tell me to count my blessings

Because I already do.

I can't fill the void of my lost child with platitudes.

Could you?

by Clarissa J. Moore

This poetic rant is a reaction to the lack luster response she got from family and friends to my reaching out to them about Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day. This woke me up this morning so I hope it is a "God Thing" and I was meant to share.

A huge thank you to Clarissa for allowing me to use her poem on this post.  I think it is a fantastic and explains how alot of us feel after a loss.
