Haiku Friday
Times of joy turn sad
When future plans become dim
Sadness overtakes
Times of hope darken
Breath taken, taken away
Love rallies around
Times of happiness
Of lullabies and sweetness
Replaced by mourning
These are the times when
While we don’t know the answers
We keep on searching
These are the times when
Tiny, special angel wings
Are wrapped around you

Last night we learned that our friends lost their son, upon his birth.
This Haiku is in his honor; in their honor.

oh, so sad. i’m sorry for them.
Poor, dear folks. Such a devastating sorrow. May the Lord comfort them.
Tragic. That’s the second baby that was lost last night. The other was a girl – mama lost her at 35 weeks – her twin brother will be delivered next week. So sad.
I can’t even imagine, really, that far into all the hoping and dreaming and planning. So sad. My heart goes out to them. Really beautiful haiku in their honor, and at least they have a wonderful friend like you to lean on if they’d like.
My thoughts and prayers are with them. I could not even imagine what that feels like.
