My Song

So I was listening to KLOVE tonight and I thought, "These songs are just not complicated.  They are so simple, that is why they hit my heart, make me cry and make me praise God.  I bet I could write a song."  The last sentence caught me by surprise, so much so that I sat down and tried.  Since I don't do anything remotely close to music, I want to post this as fast as I can before I chicken out and convince myself it's as ridiculous as me thinking I can write it.  :-)

Baby girl

Came too soon

Frail and weak

No words but death

spoken to my ears

But, you, My God, 

had yet to weigh in.

Baby girl

Heart stops beating

Forget to breathe

Your own Momma's touch

causing you pain.

Only in God 

Only in Christ's hands

may you rest

Only in God's Spirit

can you find relief.

Surgeries, Infections

Last ditch efforts

Transfusions, Medications

Your own Momma watches 

as new pain grips your tiny body.

Only in God

Only in Christ's hands

can she rest

Only in God's Spirit 

does she find relief

Baby girl

Three years old

Rambunctious and destructive

No words, just laughing

fill my ears

No words but praise

exit my lips.

My God weighed in

Praise God, my powerful Redeemer

weighed in

His weight, as it turns out, 

is the only weight left standing

Standing

Next to my baby girl.

God Bless!!
