Fearfully and Wonderfully Made

You were fearfully and wonderfully

made

Tiny form never gracing this earth

My broken womb never giving you birth

You were fearfully and wonderfully

made.

I will always wonder how you were knit together-

boy or girl?

I will always wonder if blonde and blue-

or black wavy curl?

Though I never heard your heart beat

and though your life began incomplete

You were fearfully and wonderfully

made.

God is Sovereign and Good,

Even though I may not, He understood

That time and place would not be yours

And you would only see heaven’s door

You were fearfully and wonderfully

made.

We loved the thought of you

while you were in my womb

I am sorry, little one, that my womb became your tomb,

You were fearfully and wonderfully

made.

May you rest in peace.

May you enjoy from this world-release

and may you recognize those who gave you life

Someday in Paradise

for you were fearfully and wonderfully

made.
