Nathan Welch-Castero - Missouri 2010

Baby Boy

You are beloved
You are missed
You are longed for
You are perfect just the way you are!

I praise God that you are in His arms
I praise God that you came into my life
I praise God that you will never suffer
I praise God that you will never want

Your name means to give
You gave me joy
You gave me hope
You gave me love

for always my baby boy!

  1. Hi April! I was reading this and thinking of you...if it's too sensitive, you don't have to answer, but I was taken aback...did you have a baby or were you pregnant? I really do think about you often and pray for peace and healing in your life...you are an amazing person!

  2. Yes, Melissa - I had a miscarriage while I was in Kenya. I wrote this poem six months after He passed away. I just felt that I had to acknowledge the truth - no matter how painful! I wanted to give recognition to my son - even though he never knew life. This was part of my healing process and moving forward out of shame and sadness!
