Reaching Into the Light
Stephanie Aristonic
August 2002
A smile on daddy's face
as big as as a rainbow
A smile in mommy's heart
I thought you should know,
my heart is heavy still
the pain weighing strong
God called you into the light
out of the dark now your gone
years we had waited
so much work has been done
just to smell your hair
just to hold your hand
the pain seems to much to bare.
but hope is ahead
the future seems bright
pleas god let our little one
into our light
we promis to keep it bright
to never let the light go out
i have two baby's in heaven now
safe with ones that love them
but A mommy i want to be
more than anything to me
i have a light inside of me needing to shine bright
just give me that chance, i hope that you might.
Comments: In 1995 I had to have a d&c due to my diabetes and complications, since then my husband and I have worked with many doctors and were finally able to try in February 2002. I misscarried at 8 weeks in August 2002, and had my second d&c. We are not giving up hope that there is a light at the end of the dark tunnel.
