Remembered

A prayer
Offered for your angels tonight
Who will one day rest in your arms again
And fill your ears with the music of laughter
But who tonight slumber at His feet
And bombard Him with questions about their momma and papa
You are remembered

Time trudges forward
Blur into weeks and years
But to the ones
Longing for their babies
Wailing in the darkness
Annual dates
With daisies at the grave
And a loneliness that isolates
Like "Rachel weeping for her children
And refusing to be comforted"
A prayer is offered for you tonight
Though those dates may be forgotten
You are remembered

The void within and the void without
He has not forgotten
But be still, wait
For the weeping will turn into dancing
And your cup will be full again
Running over with joy
Running into your arms with squeals of delight
And eager bright eyes
To tell you about those long days and dark nights
That were for them great and wonderful adventures in the garden, at the throne
With Jesus

He does not forget
The agony of your darkness
For the Father walked it too
And a parent's heart is His creation
To mirror His own nature
So He has promised
That tears and pain and death will be destroyed
And you will be complete again

And my prayer for you tonight
Is to embrace this hope
And know that you are remembered
And loved
