Known
Unknown one, you are known.
Your tiny body, perfect
Just the way it was,
Your form knit together
Only this much.
Welcomed
Straight into loving arms.
Unknown one, you are known.
Little though you may be,
The love surrounding you
Was very big.
Your story became shorter,
It didn’t end.
Unknown one, you are known.
No less mysterious
Than uncounted wonders;
Unknown by us, yet known.
Precious in the simple gift of being.
Held close by the maker of the universe.
Loved. Precious. Known.

Leanne that is amazing!
We have a ministry here in Ontario ministering to mom’s who lose their baby.
It is called Hope Box. We pack photo boxes from Michaels craft store with articles to help mother (or Families) in their grief. I was wondering if I show this to the leaders and they think it would be helpful would you give me permission to make some copies to go in the boxes.
Of course your name would be there as the one who wrote it.
So in these boxes we put a Bible highlighting verses of encouragement, a journal, literature on grief, and pointing to Christ our comforter, a knitted 12 ” square to represent a blanket and a small stuffed toy. Also a few ladies in our church write notes of encouragement for the boxes. We get together and pack the boxes.
Where you have the name Winger I could put (insert your last name).
Let me know what you think.
Praying for you in your time of Greig.
Blessings,
Gloria Topping.
