We could never guess





tiny little bundle, you

your skin delicately pink
blanketing your warmth
eyes of awe

your beautiful lashes and tiny hands
little noises
the very veins in your eyelids

are melodic


small translucent ribcage

your breath
is bigger than you


and God pours life
between your fingertips

you hold your mother's skin

your purpose here
is bigger than our imagination
we could never guess

but maybe someday

when we dance
through the universe
perfected


we will know

Dedicated to little Kayleigh, whose story I've been following breathlessly over the past few days. She has already touched my life, and she's changed the world in ways that we might never even guess at until we see the God who sustains her face-to-face. He has plans for her that exceed our imagination. Kayleigh is truly a miracle; please keep her in your heart today.
