Samantha's Story

Samantha's Story

By Shannon Schroeder

It was a warm summer Saturday

When I took the test

After two minutes passed

It was not what I'd expect

There were two lines showing

Indicating I was with child

My mind turned to panic

And my emotions went wild

I couldn't wait to tell Daddy

So I called and told him the news

He was ecstatic about the pregnancy

Delighted about you

While I was filled with fear

He promised God would provide

So I tried to be tough and brave

And prayed to our Heavenly guide

After a few ups and downs

And a few twists and turns

I was excited to have you

Despite my nausea and heartburn

But then something went wrong

And we found out you were gone

That now you live with Jesus

It left me feeling withdrawn

First my heart broken in two

Then it broke again and again

I thought I'd never feel better

But finally then

God started to heal us and

He granted us some peace

He has given us true comfort

And from our pain we are released

Now all we can do is look ahead

And until then we pray

When Mommy and Daddy, Samantha and Jesus

Will all be together that day
