hearts broken by a babe lost in the womb
were mended in a delivery room
Mercy joined us, oh so quickly!
Max, he was a bit more prickly...
17 minutes he lagged behind.
quite determined to take his time.
Not even a year had passed us by
when Sammy became a twinkle in my eye.
And just that fast,
our family become much more vast!
Twins who adored one another,
quickly took to their little brother.
Much like triplets they seemed to be,
a happy little band of three.
Lil' mamas, Eva and Charley became,
every little thing was made a game!
Each outing was a great adventure,
our little crew always at the center...
of all the chaos and commotion,
precious, curious, whirling in motion.
another 2 years passed, then 3 and 4,
till suddenly 2 of them were no more.
The double blessing was cracked, then broken,
the littlest one, too, could never be woken.
A family fractured, torn and battered,
every dream into tiny shards was shattered.
Now 3 precious ones remain,
here upon this earthly domain.
The time has come to dream new dreams,
to mend and repair the tattered seams,
to find the strength, to see the joy,
of the memories of that girl and boy,
who changed the core of who we are,
who from our hearts are never far.
Redeem us from this lonely place,
fill us with Your saving grace!
For until it is Your face I see,
wrapped in your embrace I must be.
On this day, we'll laugh, we'll cry,
we'll let their love be a lullaby,
comfort and peace we will gain,
a salve to our hearts in their pain.
Remember the love they shared while near,
and keep them in your heart all year.
