My Sweet Son

I gave birth to you, my sweet son;
but I have not cuddled you in my arms.

I gave birth to you, my sweet son;
but you have not suckled my breast.

I gave birth to you, my sweet son;
but you have not clung to my finger.

I gave birth to you, my sweet son;
but we have not held eachothers gaze.

I gave birth to you, my sweet son;
but I have not heard you cry.

I gave birth to you, my sweet son;
but you are not mine, you're HIS.

I'm touched by these words. My faith has increased 10- fold because of this. Jamin has already been a blessing. The peace of God is flowing through you and it is inspiring!

Still praying, I had to pop over here because Andee said you had such a moving poem about your baby. Hope you sense deeply everyone of the prayers being lifted up for your family.

So glad to hear that things are going better, we have been praying a lot. Please let me know if you need anything. Jeff wanted to let you know that all of the Christians at ODOT motor carrier have been praying for you, and one Hindu - Jeff couldn't stop him.

We are praying for Jamin's quick recovery. And for Kelly as well to take care of herself after the delivery. We love you, Gary and Joann

Wonderful poem, Kelly. I can't imagine the pain and heartache that you've been going through. With my Ben only 2 1/2 months old, I've been especially saddened by the thought of what it must be like for you not to be able to hold your son and to be worried about his very life. I am soooooo happy that things are looking up and will continue praying for Jamin's recovery. We love you guys!
