Hope and Loss
Dec 31, 2024
A gift prayed for
anticipated
and finally welcomed
into this world
as beloved son
in a pale hospital room
in a troubled time
when all we could do
is cling to the hope of heaven
sickness came unexpected
knocking you backward
into a hospital bed
“don’t worry, it’s only pain”
is what you said
as a beloved son
in a pale hospital room
in a troubled time
when all we could do
is cling to the hope of heaven
where was God in all this suffering
why didn’t God do something
but maybe God took you home
because He loved you too
a beloved son
in a pale hospital room
in a troubled time
when all we could do
is cling to the hope of heaven
