The Stillborn

I wrote this peace for my Sister,
when she lost her baby girl at birth.
She was named Stephanie.
My sister used this for the eulogy for the funeral.

The Stillborn

She was here, now she's gone
and I didn't even hold her.
Yet while I lay here in the room,
Looking up into the sky.

"It's so still".

It's so cloudy, almost as if God heard my cry,
felt my sorrow and knew my pain.

But now I feel a sense of gladness.
For God has blessed my child,
by not letting her go through the mysery of today.

He chose her to be one of his littlest Angels.

For to me she was only stillborn here on earth,
but Born again in heaven.
A more beautiful world than could ever be on this earth.

Today there is a stillness, but also a peace.
For my baby that was stillborn is in heaven,
Where there is no mysery or Pain.

And yet, "It's so stIll".
