Leah's Poetry

Yesterday Leah and I attended a funeral for Leah's school teacher's mother. We wanted to do something for her, but were unsure of what to do. I suggested that Leah could write a poem for her teacher, and she quickly composed a beautiful poem. Here are Leah's thoughts about the passing of a loved one:

Not Gone Forever

One has loved,

One has lost;

But

In a way

Gained.

For there are still

Footprints

In the dust

For that one

To follow;

To make their own

So they

Can make

Loved ones

Proud.

One who has left

Is not gone forever;

For after the icy chains

Of death,

There is life

For families to share,

Love,

And live

For eternity;

For there is

No end

To God's

Love.

We're grateful for her talents she so easily and readily shares.
