Prayer For A Miscarried Child

Praise God for this gentle Love
Beyond our understanding
For this Love that conceived you.
A perfect child
Beautiful, unique and whole
For his Love
That longed to share with you

The wonders of creation
For his Love that waited
For just the right time
For just the right parents,
For you.

But something happened
Before you were born
The sin in this world
Attacked your small life
Weakening, dimming
Your bright little spark

God had to decide
On the more loving course
To heal you in this life
And let you be born
Or
To call you to himself
To hold you in his arms
And to heal you with a kiss

It's hard for us to understand
Why God healed you
The way he did
Ofteh we wish
That you were here
That you didn't die so young
So, please
Ask Jesus to help us
To see you through his eyes
Perfect, free and happy
Playing by Jesus side.
Amen.
