Sweet Sarah, God's Sweet Encourager

Sarah was asked to read a poem she wrote to a former teacher of hers who lost her baby. She has added this to her Facebook page:



Sarah Craig~
so I'm reading a poem I wrote tomorrow afternoon at a memorial ceremony for all of the precious babies that didn't make it. I just want to ask that you say a prayer for all the mothers & fathers out there who have that kind of grief on their shoulders. please pray that they will somehow come closer to Christ through this. and to anyone who has ever lost a child, please know that this picture perfectly shows where your miracle is - safe in His arms. ♥
Here's her poem:
In The Blink of an Eye
By: Sarah Craig

Silently
The tears fall down your face
As the doctor says,
"I'm Sorry"
The grief you feel
Is mare than you can bear
There was something unique inside you
But it was stripped away
In the blink of an eye
The miracle that was once there will forever be
loved and remembered,
though unborn
The loss; the pain
You can't do it along
Call on your Father
He will catch you in His arms
and hold on tight
Don't give up now
Seasons will change
Tomorrow is another day
Look up in the sky
The Son is shining through these dark clouds
Bask in His warmth
Don't give up hope
Be strong
And know that you are forever in my prayers

Makes me cry when I read this.  She will be reading this at a memorial for all who have had little ones die.  Please Lord, give Sarah the strength to read this in front of all of the people that will be there.  May glory be given to you through her actions and words.  Bless all of those there who will need you. Please help them cling to you to get them through their difficult time.

Sarah did a beautiful job reading her poem.  She's only 14 and wrote this when she was 12.  There wasn't a dry eye in the house.  Thank you God for filling Sarah with what she needs to be such an encouragement to all she comes in contact with.
Thanks for stopping by.
Blessings,
