Katie's Poem

I'm still here I stepped into the shadows I haven’t gone away I didn’t want others to see the face of sorrows I’m still here It was so much easier than I could convey I just didn’t have the words But I’m still here The pain was too much to bear I took time to sit and watch the birds I had to let my soul repair However, I am still here Occasionally, a tear will slide down my face And I still feel like my heart is on its last beat But I am still here Then I try to remember God’s wonderful grace And tell myself that I am complete I am still here I am a child of the Most High Despite all my failures and my hurt I will not listen to another lie This is where I will assert I am still here In Loving Memory of Katie Knox 4/15/2025 © Deborah Seale 2025
