Wave of Light (In God’s Hands)

Tonight we light our candles to remember our smallest babes.
They left us much too soon…how we wish they could have stayed.
We carry them in our hearts; we had hopes and dreams and plans.
We love them still today, as they rest peacefully in God’s hands.

Our arms still long to hold them, we long to hear their coo's.
We long to have the chance to just do what parents do.
We long to see the day that little one first stands,
But we do find comfort, as they rest peacefully in God’s hands.

We had to say goodbye, some of us never said hello.
Our babes went up to Heaven, while we stay here below.
If you believe the Scripture, you know that God has plans -
Soon we’ll reunite, and rest peacefully in God’s hands.

So, tonight we light our candles to remember our smallest babes
We miss them, love them, want them…how we wish they could have stayed.
They were taken before we wanted, for reasons we don’t understand
But their waves of light shine brightly, and they rest peacefully in God’s hands.

As well as all who sent me emails but wishes to remain anonymous - your babies are precious and loved - and those who commented about their loss on Angie's blog (1422 as of 7:45pm 10/15/08).

If you're just now reading this and would like us to pray for your (or a friend's) Littlest Angel, please do not hesitate to let me know. If you're struggling with a recent (or not so recent) loss and need a shoulder, know that mine is always available. Email me anytime!
