Holding you
Waiting for your day to come...
9 months gone by
kissing your mama's belly
and speaking to your little Spirit
Joy overflowing when we got the call
Your mama's in labor and you were on your way
Hurrying to the hospital
I could hardly wait, to see and hold you
You came on my birthday
A special bond I knew we would have
Holding you that night
I couldn't stop smiling because of your beauty
As the days went by as you were home
Our family felt more complete
Holding and enjoying you last Saturday
Is a day I will treasure for the rest of my life
Your eyes so bright
Your smile warm and embracing
Your legs and arms wiggling
Your brown curly hair so soft
Only God knew that in two days
He would be holding you
Looking at your beauty
And admiring this work of His creation
My arms held your little body
on that Monday morning
Your Spirit gone
but your body was still so beautiful
Your Spirit is free
In life eternity
Where one day I will be
And you will run to me
I will hold you again
But until then
Ezekiel, you will be in my heart
Just like my beloved, Art

Lauren, God has blessed you with a special way with words. My heart is in my toes right now...I am saddened by Zeke's passing and how it is impacting you and your family. I don't even know Tom and Leah, but please let them know that I am praying for them. I love you. Call me if you want to talk.
Thank you for sharing your heart with us. I love you.

Lauren - What a beautiful poem.

You have such a gift with words--so honest, raw, and truly beautiful. Thank you for reminding me that we don't always have to know the "Why?!' of our circumstances in order to move forward in our relationship with the Lord. This is constantly hard for me.
Hugs to you,
Carrie Jacobs Davis
