Love this poem

There Is An Empty Room by Stephanie Garcia
There is an empty room
In which no child sleeps
Just a rocking chair, a teddy bear,
The baby clothes they keep

It is a quiet room
With everything in place,
But no happy sighns or lullabies,
No child in their embrace

There is an empty crib
In the corner, tucked away;
The gentle light of the moon shines bright
As they kneel by the crib to pray.

"These are our empty arms, We hold them
out to you. Help us stay close to Your way,
As this valley we walk through.

Remove all bitter thoughts, Your will is what we seek.
Dry our tears and calm our fears, lift us up, for we are weak."

There is an empty room
In which no child sleeps.
But they know the love of a Father above,
And His promises He keeps.

Hi, I am so happy that the poem is a blessing to you! Poetry has been my "therapy" for as long as I can remember, but especially through our infertility and adoption journeys.

God bless,
Stephanie Garcia
