Allen W Trew Poet Verse

For Brittany Maynard

That frightened Child
With the woman's eyes 
Felt a dread
She could not disguise; 
She asked, "Oh Lord,
What have I done
For you to beckon
One so young?"
The Lord answered,
"You have no sin. 
A special place lies within
My arms for you. 
I gave you wings
My cherished one;
Spread them now...
And come. "

Always with LUV -- LINDA-- Allen W Trew February 6, 2016 at 1:35 AM Thank you Linda ?? I wrote this in response to a friend of a friend on Facebook, who said she would burn in Hell for taking her own life. I'm actually an atheist, and just used the poem as a tool. Hope you still appreciate it lol. Take care ??
