Mourning a stillbirth is something that is very difficult to find closure. The words of this poem have provided comfort to Bethany’s family.I'm just a precious little one who didn't make it there. I went straight to be with Jesus but I'm waiting for you here. Many dwelling here where I live, waited years to enter in, struggled through a world of sorrow, a world marred with pain, and sin. Thank you for the life you gave me, it was brief, but don't complain. I have all the heavens glory, suffered none of Earths great pain. Thank you for the name you gave me. I'd love to bring it fame. But if I'd lingered in earths shadows I would have suffered just the same. So sweet family, don’t you sorrow. Wipe those tears and chase the gloom. I went straight to Jesus' arms from my loving mothers' womb~ author unknown
