Re-post - This Remembrance is GRACE...

I have recently been following on FB, an amazing family who are now walking the road of grief as they said good-bye to their sweet baby girl Anaya (http://healinganaya.blogspot.com). As I read their final moments, the memories of Grace swirl around me. Yet, these memories are welcomed, though painful, are beautiful and treasured. And so, I decided to re-post this poem in honor of Gracie, and a new little angel - Anaya.

I awoke to find you were the first thought on my mind

And I remembered you.

As I made tiny beds, and made sure mouths were fed

I remembered you.

As I heard little voices, playing and making noises

I remembered you.

I thought of your face, & all of God's grace

I remembered you.

And though this remembrance brings tears and pain

Each tear drop that falls, does not fall in vain

For each is filled with memories & gladness too

Reminding me that there was a 'you'

Some say time heals, and in some ways it's true

But remembrance is a gift for it links me to you

Some people say forget, move on, she's in a better place

But what they don't understand is that this remembrance is Grace.
