This is a poem that I wrote for my daughter shortly after her birth. I've modified it a bit and present it here specifically for a dear family member, to whom significant health problems cling with continued determination. Hang in there- we love you. More importantly, God does, too.
“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you” – Jeremiah 1:5a
As you get older, you’ll find in this life
No end to the things that cause heartache or strife
The future’s uncertain, and can inspire fear
If we’re faced with the loss of things we hold dear
But try to remember that we’re in God’s hands
An integral part of His wonderful plans
He knows us and loves us, even in the womb
He’ll be with us always- from birth to the tomb
So trust and cling to Him, each one of your days
And focus on Him- He’ll direct all your ways
Even when you’re hurting, engulfed by the night
He’ll put you at ease, and surround you with light
Then when you look back on your life you will say
“He’s been faithful thus far, and He’ll be so today!”
Remember- should blessings or troubles befall,
Before the Lord formed you, He planned it all
