ODE TO HOPE
To my baby, Hope, who I miscarried

You were more than just a thought
And more than just a desire
You were created by a union of love
Though they say you were not yet a child
My heart knows different
For from the moment of conception
You became as much a part of me
As Sarah, Elise and Emily
My heart had begun to imagine
The feel of you in my arms
The image of you at my breast
I had such plans for you
And I will always remember you
As the child that exists before God's throne
For I know that as I have named you Hope
Those that hope in Him will not be disappointed
And one day we will meet again
And my Spirit will know you
And you will know me
The mother who wept for you
Who tenderly kissed the sweet dream of you goodnight
As your blood flowed into the earth
Your spirit rose into heaven
Into the arms of Jesus, our Saviour
I will always love you

Your Mother
