May 21 was the day!!


Happy Belated Birthday on the Lubbers blog, Scott! It was May 21...and you are a young 35!

in memorial.

two poems dedicated on this Memorial Day to my sister and family.

to be named

one child never to be known
one child hoping to be known
where did you go little one
where is that cuddling little child we so desired
where is that suckling of your mother's breasts
we will not know your joy
but we celebrate you

we love you
we will remember you
yet we know not your name
mommy - give me a name.

where God?

pain
anguish
gut wrenching sobbing
a little life has ended much too soon
three children and father and mother cry out
where is the justice of an anticipated child dying 
where is this god who calls himself God in this mess
a request for prayer goes out not knowing if it will be honored
overwhelming responses from around the continent
request for prayer turns into corporate tears
a kingdom not yet fully realized
a God of response responds
come quickly Lord Jesus
overwhelming
still pain
