A Poem for Becca

I wrote this poem after attending Becca’s birth, a baby that wasn’t expected to make it because of known medical complications for baby.

Becca

little one, you came like a whisper
perfectly and wonderfully made
your soul full
content in mommy’s arms
lullabies sung in your honor
filled the hush in the sacred place
a gaze to your mother a gift
resting on her breast you slipped away
quietly, peacefully
into Abba’s arms
