Infants Remembered In Silence (IRIS) - Poems

“God Knew”

Mommy,
You carried me as long as you could,
And that time together
Was meant to be.
I know it hurts, and I’ve felt your pain,
I am watching as you lay asleep,
Not knowing about my life,
But I want you to know that while you
slept,
-God knew.

I know how difficult it is to say goodbye
When we haven’t even had the chance
To say “Hello”,
Life catches us by surprise
As quickly as it does in dying,
And leaves us with unanswered
questions,
Just remember with me,
-God knew.

I am with you, always in your heart,
I know you will find solace in this,
It was not in our plan,
And it’s hard to understand,
But in His Wisdom and Sovereignty,
We endure in our faith that
-God knew.

Our life goes in many directions,
And many roads will cross our way,
As we persevere in His strength,
And remain upon His path,
He will lead us home,
As He has with me,
And one day as I will be waiting for you,
Our joy will replace the tears and
sadness of our day,
And as we embrace ourselves together
with Him,
He’ll reveal His Loving plan,
And then we’ll understand how,
-God knew.
