Mark and Tami Pehrson made a strong pro-life statement when they held a funeral for their baby Grant who died in the womb. It was touching to see the small coffin. After, I wrote this poem:
Grant
See, one pall bearer
The knitting is unfinished
in divine wisdom
If you love haiku poetry, Canon Press sells a book called breathmarks by Gary Hotham. Lovely.
Here is one of the ones I love:
music two centuries old ---
the color flows
out of the tea bag

I LOVE your poem! It is so beautiful...if I lose another baby, I want that in the funeral program. Will you remind me if I forget? Your blog is LOVELY.
