My sweet girl is 5 today! I found out I was pregnant with her a few months after my mom passed away and my brother’s diagnosis with cancer & arm amputation, so it was a soothing balm to my raw heart. A gift from God that I am forever thankful for. She’s blossoming into a little girl, and it is bittersweet – especially as I spent the morning looking through photos of her little life here on earth.
Originally, I sought out to write a song for her, a lullaby (which I still want to pen), but it turned into more of a poem…for now.
free spirit flower
my hands held a tiny angel
and helped my heart heal
a sweet stone of remembrance
that His love will never fail
knit together by our Maker
one stitch at a time
his wondrous creation
destined to be mine
free-spirited and flying
full of faith and grace
you remind me of my mama
i see Heaven in your face
you’re a flower in a field
swaying in sunlight
a tune twinkling in your soul
praise filling up the sky
heβs singing over you
songs of love and might
your beauty is found in him
my tender, precious child
Emily Finfrock
This is BEAUTIFUL! Love the poem and LOVE that sweet girl!
