It's nearly harvest time. Fruit trees are heavy with their sweet burden, soon the fields will be orange with pumpkins and other Autumn goodness. Crickets and cicadas are wonderfully loud.

I cried, but no one heard.I was hurt, but no one helped.I fought alone to no avail,I waited, but no one came.
I saw, but couldn't remember.I heard, but couldn't discern.I held out my hand, but it came back empty.My heart hurt, and no one comforted me.
How can I love when I receive none,Where is the delight in life?Is it in the mirror looking back at meOr is it in the eyes of another?

I went to an Infant Loss Memorial recently. It's for the loss of children through miscarriage, abortion, perinatal, SIDS, etc. It was a beautiful ceremony, Christ-centered, tactful, loving, and safe. It was a good place to mourn our children, to have fellowship with other moms, to tell stories, share testimonies, offer hope.
