Last month marked the two year anniversary of our miscarriage. Many of you remember praying for us during that time. We had choosen to name our lost baby Isaac. Early in May this year, I was remembering Isaac who was only inside me for 13 brief weeks and the pain of loosing him. So I wrote a little poem to capture what I was feeling. I'm not a poet so please excuse the roughness of it. I wanted to share it here for the others who read my stuff that have also lost a baby at some point. We'll never forget that little life and yet we firmly know that God has a plan. We're so grateful for the beautiful girl He's blessed us with that's about to be one year old. But there will always be a tender spot in our hearts for Isaac.

In Loving Memory of Isaac Babington

Two years have passed

Since that dreadful day

No movement, no heartbeat, no life

We heard the doctor say.

Two years have passed

Since you slipped away

Our hearts filled with grief

As we too soon said good-bye that May.

Two years have passed

A new life fills our days

Diapers, hugs, bottles, kisses

Memory of you sends love to her in special ways.

Two years have passed

Yet tears still sometimes flow

We’ll always miss you, Isaac

In our hearts, the love continues to grow.

"
Beacause Your love is better than life, my lips shall praise you." Psalm 63:3
