Due Date

Oh, the many times I imagined this day, but it did not end up being as I had hoped. Instead of gazing into your eyes, hearing your cry and seeing who you resembled most with your features you were gone too soon, and I’m left with the memory of your small body after delivering you. You’ll never be in my arms here on earth, but I have an unending desire to see you again someday in Heaven. I imagine all the possibilities you had for your future but realize you are in Heaven. I carry you in my heart while you are in God’s care and that’s the greatest comfort I can find without you here with me.
