God's Precious Gift

By: Sarah Drenten

No one knew when you'd arrive,

or what God all had planned.

No one knew how you would be,

or what we'd have to stand. 

Yet we knew that you were ours,

God chose us just for you.

So tiny, small, and beautiful,

you were our dream come true.

And looking at your little hands,

and mouth and nose and eyes,

it's hard to fathom all you had

at such a tiny size.

"Why us?" we often asked ourselves,

"Why you at this small size?" 

This wasn't our intended plan,

but you'll always be our prize.

Paige Marie, we love you so,

much more each passing day.

So little one, goodbye for now,

we'll meet again someday! 

We want to send a sincere Thank You to everyone who has stopped by at the hospital, messaged, texted, called, emailed, sent gifts/flowers/cards, etc. Everyone's support and words of encouragement have been our strength and encouragement through these last few days, and through the future. You all mean so much to us and have been so helpful during this difficult time. 


Ecclesiastes 3: 1-8 

There is a time for everything,
    and a season for every activity under the heavens:

    a time to be born and a time to die,
    a time to plant and a time to uproot,

    a time to kill and a time to heal,
    a time to tear down and a time to build,

    a time to weep and a time to laugh,
    a time to mourn and a time to dance,

    a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
    a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing,

    a time to search and a time to give up,
    a time to keep and a time to throw away,

    a time to tear and a time to mend,
    a time to be silent and a time to speak,

    a time to love and a time to hate,
    a time for war and a time for peace.
