Birthdays

Katie will be 5 next month. We're having a pink flamingo birthday party. She's so excited. I'm so happy for her. She's such a big girl.

As I was planning this birthday party for May, I was remembering a little person who would have been 3 this week. I'm not sad anymore. I know that these things happen in God's good providence. I don't know why there isn't a little toddler running through this house, but I just know that I can't change it. I still love my little Jewell, forever a baby in my mind.

A Part Of Me

As I sit and remember
When you were still a part of me
I try to forget...
Your birth was never meant to be.
You were given a life, a soul, a name
But now things will never be the same.
You were mine to give life to
Though only for a while
Things have changed...
I will never see your smile.
Yet my love for you
Will never disappear
Though your voice, your laugh,
I will never get to hear.
You will always be my baby
Though I've never seen your face.
Not a thing in this world
Can ever take your place.
