The Magnet

​For those who mourn the loss of an unborn child. 

​The Magnet
​by Sharon Cairns Mann
For Baby Pea: 1/29/2018
 
You went before you knew you loved
the mountains and the sky.
You went before you knew you loved
puppies, and cuddles, and pie.
You went before you knew you loved
Your mom, your dad, and me.
You skipped ahead of us to BE
Your full potential as Baby Pea
In the resurrection life.
 
You went before you knew you were loved
But you know love more fully than we,
In the resurrection life.
 
Some may think you were fragile, but
You, tiny thing, are the strong one.
You, Baby Pea, are the magnet,
Pulling us all toward
The resurrection life.
 
We will meet you there soon, for the very first time.
And we will know you.  Oh, yes!
We will know you the minute we see you.
So, pull with all your heart, little strong one.
Pull as hard as you might.
Pull us all together, strong magnet,
To the resurrection life.
