Poem: Why We Named You Ocean Star

Created by Ken and Naomi 13 years ago
Beautiful Ocean, may you peacefully sleep Precious Love you have touched our souls very deep We joyfully felt your hiccups and kicking We prayed and sang to you and laughed at your wiggling But our baby's been lost and we've cried many tears Tragedy has destroyed dreams of promising years When a stillbirth has happened, we feel regret and shame We want to quickly move on and pretend there's no pain... We want to escape and might not give such a name That would bring back the hurt whenever we see The waves of the Ocean, evening Stars shine at night Bury the memories to somehow make it right But Ocean Star to remember you we decided to start By keeping you dearly closely near to our hearts While you have left us for now we believe faithfully Someday we’ll reunite and God will end all our grief You will always be with us We will think of you always, especially when we see near and far The vast, great Ocean and wonderful, beautiful, shining Stars
