I don't know if Martha Mae was still born or if she lived for a while, but I wanted to leave a poem for her.

IT'S DIFFICULT TO UNDERSTAND WHY

It's difficult to understand why
A benevolent God would let a baby die.
Surely one so helpless and pure
was deserving of a cure.

Though we cannot know God's plan,
His love was still there to see.
When the suffering was at it's height
He told the baby, "Dearest, come to ME."

And now they live together in Heaven
Just waiting for the day,
When everyone will be reunited,
And all sorrow will fall away.
