A child that loses a parent is an orphan.
A man who loses his wife is a widower.
A woman who loses her husband is a widow.
There is no name for a parent that loses a child,
for there is no word to describe the pain.

I AM YOUR WORST NIGHTMARE

I am your worst nightmare.

I strike mostly at night while you're sleeping.

Most women I prey on never know I'm coming.
And some don't know I've been there until days later.
Not that it matters because there's no way to stop me.
I rob them of their most prized possession.

I steal from all, rich & poor, black & white.
I am a 'Equal Opportunity' destroyer of dreams.

Replace what I have taken from you and I may strike again.
Or I may spare you next time.
Not even I know for sure.

Last year I struck 26,000 American women, all fatally.
Likely I'll do the same this year, as not much has changed.

Just when women least expect it, I will strike out at them.
With devastating consequences for them and their families.

Most times I get away without as much as leaving a fingerprint.
I'm known from my handiwork, though none have seen my 'face'.
Because of that no one's out looking for me, so for now I'm safe.

My victims often refuse to discuss me, or tell others what I did to them.
Their reluctance to talk about what happened helps me in my work.
I like doing my dirty work out of the glare of inquiry.
I like the quiet hours and the anonymity.
I am aptly named because of it.

I am stillbirth.

The mention of my child's name may bring tears to my eyes,
But it never fails to bring music to my ears.
If you are really my friend, let me hear the beautiful music of her name.
It soothes my broken heart and sings to my soul.

If you get there before I do
Don't give up on me.
I'll meet you when my chores are through
I don't know how long I'll be
But I'm not gonna let you down
Darling, wait and see
And between now and then
Till I see you again
I'll be loving you
Love, Me

excerpted from "Love, Me" by Collin Raye


A Gift From God

An angel was sent from Heaven above
A special one that would bring much love
God knew that this precious life would be short
So He looked around for a tender heart
He made His choice and the gift was sent.
In what seemed like a moment the angel went
Leaving treasured memories, and a heart full of pain
A void, an abyss, tears flowed like rain
But...
Wait just a moment, I wish you could see
This wonderful thing that has happened to me,
Jesus was waiting. His arms opened wide,
And He and His angels brought me inside
Such a beautiful place that I cannot describe,
A new home for me from the moment I died.
I'll wait for you here, so dry up your tears.
And go bravely on with your life free from fears
Know that God's with you to love and to guide.
He'll never desert you, He's there by your side.
So speak to Him daily from inside your heart
And let Him assure you we're not really apart.
