To protect privacy, I have used ***** and ##### in place of naming the relationships.
You in bold (You) refers to the Lord.

I was awaiting a joyous announcement
of the birth of one of my *****s’ first son
Instead, I received a sad and disheartening
news of still birth, zapping me like a taser gun

It felt as if I got hit with a ton of bricks
It crushed my spirits and tore my heart
Words can not express my sorrow
My soul & body seem to be coming apart

He was to be the first grand child
of my dear #####, one I love so much
(S)he had been waiting with anticipation
to caress him with her/his loving touch

My ***** and her spouse took
every precaution expected of them
to ensure that the baby was well cared for
Yet this tragedy, they could not stem

He would have had the most loving, and
nurturing environment from his parents
He was destined to grow up to become
kind & giving, without many discontents

The great irony is not lost on me Lord
You chose the day of my #####’s birthday
The day now would forever carry a stain
The deep scar on my soul is here to stay

Life is like a box of chocolates; one
never knows what (s)he is going to get
It works in mysterious ways; often
it feels like a game of Russian roulette

You snuffed a life even before
it had a chance to take first breath
Lord, I want to know why, just why
did you sentence him to death?

I am sure You had a plan that
we mortals won’t understand
Still, I fail to see what that might be
Explain to us, is our humble demand.

May his soul rest in peace.
May our family find strength to cope with this tragedy.

Om shanti shanti shanti.
