Kayla Lynn

I knew of a beautiful angel; Kayla Lynn was her name A precious gift from heaven; irreplaceable she became Silky blonde hair in ringlets; eyes as blue as an oceans view Kayla embraced life as always; while others had no clue No clue to the disease consuming her; weakening her every day Leukemia ravishing her tiny body, while others simply looked away Showered with love and kisses, her mother always there for her Praying wishing endlessly for the vicious disease never to recur Poking and prodding daily; her moral is starting to fade A sweet innocent child just five years old; painfully becoming afraid Her mother constant at her bedside, trying to comfort her at ease Bowing her head in silence as she gets down upon her knees An unspoken prayer she begins to recite, over and over again Begging the Lord to spare her child, ending with a somber subtle Amen Looking up at her daughter who’s still vibrant and somewhat care free Hoping wishing praying for the lord to heal her and instead take me But the Lord had a special plan for Kayla; one filled with Heavenly Bliss And one silent night he sent his angels for his child of sweet reminisce Tearful, crying and heartbroken for our Kayla Lynn was to be no more Wondering, “Why this beautiful child and what was the purpose for?” Then it dawned upon us as we mournfully tried to understand The Lord needed her more than we did and this is to be as he planned That day will come inevitably when we reunite again as one Kayla we love and miss you so, but realize now that your life has only just begun © Stacy Lynn Stiles
