One of my rare creative gifts is poetry.... rare because I can usually only write when I'm talking (or listening) to God, but whether they're my words or His, they always express a part of my inward soul that I could never put into conversation but only in verse.
I'll post a few of them here :)
-Our Lost-
A precious new life
Was snatched from us too soon
Dear Heavenly Father
We're looking to you
Unfathomable tragedy
The work of a thief
Yet you will restore joy
And comfort our grief
Turn our mourning to dancing
As we weep and we pray
You mend broken hearts
In your own tender way
As we mourn together
Crying out to above
We know they are with you
Enrobed in your love
What is meant for great harm
To separate us from you
Only draws us in closer
To our God who makes new
The loss of a precious child
Could never cause us to praise or clap
But we know their Heavenly Father
Has them snuggled up in His lap
Dear Heavenly Father
Though our hearts are in pain
We'll trust you with our treasure
Til we may hold them again
