Twins lost several years ago
still on my mind
My nightmares remind me
there's no solace to find
To never hear a giggle
or never hear that cry
I must've asked a thousand times,
"God, why'd you take them, why?"
They were only in my womb a while
But I think about them still
I have to believe there's an afterlife
Because I will hold them. I will!
Some people say, "It was for the best!"
I would like to know how they know
Because to me that comment
hits lower than the low
I know my angel babies
have wiped the tears where I lay
And they are playing with the Almighty
in the awesome Kingdom where they stay

Your angel babies are there “playing with the Almighty in the awesome Kingdom”
... together with my baby!
I empathize with you...but it was beyond our control. We have to take solace in that! Thinking of you, my sweet Christina!
Hugs 🤗

Thank you Laura! I am glad we can empathize with each other about this. Thanks for your kind words!!
Well, I've started a study on the book of Job in the Old Testament. Maybe I shall have gleanings of more understanding of sufferings.
We can't know all. And something like 'God takes the best flowers early - for his garden' can sting, even if meant for comfort. Maybe true in some cases - but how, even before they are born?
Well, I once wrote a personal poem about how they got to come right home (to heaven).....and the way you wrote it, "god takes the best flowers early-for his garden" sounds much better than, "it's for the best. Thanks Orchidee, your reply meant a lot!!
The loss of two babies at the same time is so great I can only imagine the pain you went through Christina - - I send deep compassion from my heart to yours dear friend - keep that faith of future reunion in t;he Kingdom of Heaven for it will come to pass. Hugs from Fay xxxxxx
Thanks so much Fay. I know I will see them again someday. This being the anniversary month spurred the poem, but I don't know if I'll ever truly get over it. Thanks for the needed hugs!!
Take Heart CHRIS ~ All babies that die in the womb or are (God forbid) aborted or die before they are SEVEN (Age of Reason in the UK } ~ it's probably Three in the USA ! They go straight to Heaven ~ and if we are also "Heaven Bound" we have assurance that ONE DAY we will be reunited in GLORY ~ Thanks for caring & sharing ~ Twin Hugs ~ Yours BRIAN @@@ & @@@
Thanks so much Brian. I have dreamt of my mother (passed) holding them in white. I know I will see them again someday. In "Glory" as you call it. Thanks so much for your kind words. Yours--Christina

Thanks, ww for your kind words! My daughter that followed is an absolute joy! So glad you got the gift of twins. Children are a gift from god! Thanks again--good talking to you!
you are welcome! nice to talk to you too. ww
Ah so so sorry to read this lament - you have my greatest sympathy,
Thanks so much Michael, I do appreciate it!!
Christina I understand how you feel, my wife lost twins many, many years ago.
But you never forget it. I've had people on their deathbed correct their children as to how many children they had, because they count the ones they've lost. Thanks for the kind comment.
