A Mother's Prayer

Oh give me patience when tiny hands
Tug at me with their small demands.
And give me gentle and smiling eyes;
Keep my lips from sharp replies.
And let not fatigue, confusion or noise
Keep me from sharing my child's new found joys.
And most of all, help me to look above
When at times I think I have no love.
For You have promised to bear my load
As these precious lives unfold.

Little One

Today is the second anniversary of the day I lost you. I was so happy when I know I have you in my tummy. During early weeks of check up, the doctor couldn't see you in my womb. 

Weeks later, we saw you but couldn't detect a heart-beat. On 9 March, we finally saw your heart thumping. Mommy was so happy. When Mommy went back to the clinic a week later, the heart beat was gone and the doctor told Mommy that you were gone. I know you've gone to heaven first. Mommy doesn't know if you're a boy or girl. But one thing Mommy knows is that she'll meet you in heaven one day.
