I had looked for you, waited for you.
I just didn’t know this was your part
A huge role you are playing baby girl
Although your time on stage was short
I found you Elizabeth,
My wise Oak Tree
Now, with your help,
I am finding me.
You are helping me find my missing parts
and making me complete
Showing me the best things of life
honoring what’s most sweet
Living life with No Regrets
Making the most of each day
Elizabeth is printed on my heart
And there you always will stay.
Reminding me to live in the moment
To soak up the light when it shines
To brave the darkness, allow the hurt
This little little light of mine~
You’re teaching me to honor my dreams
Your light within burns with hope
Reminding me that Jesus redeems
It is only through Him we can cope
To make the most of what we have
To honor each moment we’re given
You bring out the best in our family
You are Peace, Love and Forgiveness
With the ones I have now, I will treasure my time
Your memories I will keep alive
Knowing one day, there will be no more pain,
When Jesus will finally arrive.
When living seems too painful
Will you bring me the gifts that I need?
After the rain comes the Son
To Him we are blessed to concede.
Jesus Lives.
My baby does too.
With me for just a short while,
You came and brought your gentle peace.
Your gift makes all the pain worthwhile.
I know now, the question I wondered…
Is it better to have loved and lost?
Absolutely yes Elizabeth!
You are worth the cost.
Sweet Dreams my child.
My little girl.
You are in my heart to stay.
We’ll be together again, this I know.
For God has planned it this way.
Love, Mama

Thoughts and prayers continue my friend...
This is so amazing! You are talented and beautiful and brave. I know you wish you didn't have to be, but you are an example to so many. This poem was beautiful and heartbreaking. I loved each line, but my favorite part was "I know now, the question I wondered...is it better to have loved and lost? Absolutely yes Elizabeth! you are worth the cost". This is something I think and have questioned every single day since Bensons birth. We are so blessed to have these beautiful souls in our care! Thank you for sharing this. You are in my thoughts and prayers!
Beautiful words for hope, glory, and peace. Hugs to you and your family.
She was so blessed to have a mommy like you
As tears roll down my cheeks knng your pain, but rejoicing in your truth. Loving deeply comes with a price. You love with all you are Heidi and that love glorifies the name of Jesus. I pray that you draw near to the love our Father in heaven has for you, his precious daughter, and that you feel His presence even in the dark of night when the quiet can seem deafening. Sending you my love, my prayers and sharing the strength I have been so humbly afforded by a merciful and loving God who has lifted my eyes to the hills.
Gorgeous and heartbreaking. We love your family so much.
