Excitement builds
Preparation begins
Fingers drum
Toes tap
Minds race
Hearts dream
Names fly
Love grows
Blood pumps
Cells multiply
A heart beats
Growth comes
Time slows
Words fade
World spins
Tears fall
Hearts break
Plans change
Earth skipped
Sweeter heaven
Empty hands
Full hearts
Expectant joy
Today I am going to a funeral. Its for a baby. A baby that never knew life outside of the womb. A baby that was so dearly loved by his momma and daddy already. A baby, I should consider having received a gift to miss out on this world's ugliness, that will only know the radiance of the Father.
I originally wrote this for my nephew but it seems appropriate now. My heart struggles to comprehend what's in front of me. For now I know that my God is loving even when what it seems is happening isn't lovely at all.
