Twins

Christina8

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

    I'm so sorry Christina, I know you miss your twins more than anything. Please know that they know you love and miss them as they do you. And you will be reunited and you will get to hold them. (((((HUGS)))))

    • Christina8

      I know thats the truth! (that I will get to hold them someday!) I have come far and do not think about them all the time but it is the anniversary month of their passing, so I wrote this. Thanks for the needed hugs!!

        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?

          • Christina8

            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

            • Christina8

              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 @@@ & @@@

              • Christina8

                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

                      Christina I understand how you feel, my wife lost twins many, many years ago.

                      • Christina8

                        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.
