\"\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

Little angel growing, wrapped in God\u2019s great love,<\/h6>\n
You\u2019re tiny with a soul, brand new\u2026<\/h6>\n
A hidden treasure undetected by those who carry you\u2026<\/h6>\n
You\u2019ve never seen a flower grow or a rainbow big and wide.<\/h6>\n
You\u2019ve never tasted food that\u2019s grown in a garden or walked by a seaside<\/h6>\n
Deep inside your mother\u2019s womb is all you\u2019ve ever known<\/h6>\n
The love and protection provided by God alone\u2026<\/h6>\n
Sometimes not so perfect are the ones who come to live<\/h6>\n
In an imperfect world\u2026God will give\u2026<\/h6>\n
The child of blessing, for those special ones to mold\u2026<\/h6>\n
Not always seen in our eyes, is the child, broken, we behold\u2026<\/h6>\n
Love beyond measure is in the heart of these special ones\u2026<\/h6>\n
Teaching us to love, more than we ever thought we could\u2026<\/h6>\n
This precious gift that\u2019s given is a gift of unexpected love\u2026<\/h6>\n
This baby no one wants to have but he\u2019s come willingly from above\u2026<\/h6>\n
To test the hearts of his parents, will you love me even though\u2026<\/em><\/h6>\n
I may not be like all the rest but I need you so\u2026<\/em><\/h6>\n
I don\u2019t want to be a burden\u2026but if you don\u2019t take care of me\u2026<\/em><\/h6>\n
No one else wants the burden, oh please can\u2019t you see?<\/em><\/h6>\n
I may be imperfect, defected most would say\u2026<\/em><\/h6>\n
But my soul is bathed in God\u2019s great love; he created me this way\u2026<\/em><\/h6>\n
I may not live for very long, but I\u2019ve come just the same\u2026<\/em><\/h6>\n
Will you love me even though I\u2019m maimed, please believe me, there\u2019s no one to blame\u2026<\/em><\/h6>\n
It\u2019s just the way it is\u2026I\u2019ve chosen you to be\u2026<\/em><\/h6>\n
My mommy and my daddy\u2026will you take care of me?<\/em><\/h6>\n
Even if just for a moment let me feel your love complete\u2026<\/em><\/h6>\n
And when my eyes are closed, and my soul takes its flight, I will have known your love, and that life was sweet.<\/em><\/h6>\n

You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body\u00a0<\/span><\/em>and knit me together in my mother\u2019s womb. Psalm 139:13<\/span>New Living Translation (NLT)<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/em><\/h6>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
