Sweet mother
pray for me
in this time
when more than ever
I need hope.
You know what it is
to lose a child
without letting your hope be whipped away
by winds of despair.
You know what it is
to love again
to love still
to be courageous enough
to be vulnerable.
We are all
in a way
your rainbow babies.
Born of the sorrow of your heart
on losing Jesus.
Born of the intense burst of love
that broke out of your heart
that day at the foot of the cross
when beauty shone through your tears
like sunbeams pouring from a steely sky
making rainbows flicker
in the maternal tenderness
of your eyes.
Help me hope again!
Help me trust again!
May I be a courageous mother like you
brave enough to believe
I will soon hold my little boy
breathing this time
Alive!
in my arms.
Just East Of Crazy Land 
We pray for you my dear friend. Love and kisses
God bless

Thank you so much! The kids are praying, too. It’s so cute to hear their little hopes for the baby…”Let him come out and play with us,” or “Let’s pray he will come out and snuggle me and suck on my finger,” said my 4 year old daughter! She knows what babies like!
