One year ago today I had the opportunity to hold my son's lifeless body as I said hello and good-bye. Malachi, you are forever etched upon our hearts and we love you.
********************
Knit together in my womb by the Creator's care and grace,
We anticipated your arrival- to gaze upon your tiny feet and darling face.
**
Little did we know our dreams were not to be complete,
Instead the Lord arranged for His face to be the first that you would meet.
**
We praised our Father for allowing us to gaze upon your form,
To hold you in our hands as we waged an emotional storm.
**
What a blessing it was to carry you within for the short time giv'n,
But rather than join your family you were carried into heaven.
**
The glory, the beauty, the splendor that beheld your little eyes,
Taking you from evil, sin, death and ugly lies.
**
We miss you, dear son, as we feel the void in our family,
But our minds are at rest knowing you're in the best place you can be,
And that one day we will join you for all eternity.
