Today is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day.  We will be lighting a candle for the baby we lost this year, my sister that was lost in 1981, and all the other babies we know that were lost.

Precious Little One

I`m just a precious little one 

who didn`t make it there.

I went straight to be with Jesus, 

but I`m waiting for you here.

Many dwelling here where I live, 

waited years to enter in.

Struggled through a world of sorow, 

a world marred with pain and sin.

Thank you for the life you gave me, 

it was brief but don`t complain.

I have all Heaven`s Glory, 

suffered none of earth`s great pain.

Thank you for the name you gave me. 

I`d have loved to bring it fame.

But if I`d lingered in earth`s shadows, 

I would have suffered just the same.

So sweet family-don`t you sorrow.

Wipe those tears and chase the gloom.

I went straight to Jesus` arms 

from my loving Mother`s womb.
