The Empty Crib sat there,abandoned.
Quiet.
Alone.
Silent.
That was the worst of it.
And,
No more
crying
to be heard.
No more
cooing
either.
Baby
is
gone!
Gone.
It wasn't because she
grew up.
No, she didn't get
that chance.
Sickness
overcame her.
Rivers of
tears,
Hiccuping sobs,
battled
each other.
Her Mamma,
Her Pappa,
in mourning.
Bewildered.
Stunned.
Jesus,
Where are You?
You could have
healed
her.
We knew
You
could have!
Why not?
We still
love You.
We still
trust
You.
She's in Your
arms!
You
embrace
her
now.
But it's so empty.
Empty crib.
Empty arms.
Empty chest.
My heart
gone!
But,
because You
live,
Jesus,
we'll
face
tomorrow.
In this
stillness,
In this
silence
give us
back
our hearts.
Make them
full.
Make them
overflow
Make them
comfort
others
who
sorrow.
You have
given
us
hope and
peace.
Someday
we will
see
her
again.
Turn our empty
hearts
always to
You.
You love us even
more
than
we loved her.
This is a
lesson
we
learned.
Heart-achingly
painful.
But joy
has
come
in this
morning
of life.
Someday,
our heart-crib
will be
full
again.
