My Stillborn Baby Son
by Heather Pauwels of Calvary Chapel
Perth
I once had a son who now lives with
God above,
I never got to know him and I never
knew his love,
I once had a son whose heart beat
close to mine,
I never knew his beauty for I never
got the time,
For my son he was taken before the
dawn could break,
He's now sleeping in my heart where
his share of love he takes.
When I see my children who now walk
here by my side,
There's a sweet image of my son mirrored
in their eyes,
When I see a rose bud dropped to the
ground too soon,
It reminds me of my baby who was gone
before he bloomed,
If God should stand before me and
grant me one last wish,
I'd wish my baby in my arms to on
his head bestow a kiss.
I know I have my children who to me
are very dear,
But there's an empty place within
my life for which I shed a tear,
So I question God each day as to why
he couldn't stay,
Why my son was given to me then silently
taken away,
But I know I have to be patient and
wait till I go home,
Then within the grounds of God's heavenly home my son and I will roam.
