Suzanne

.

 Such has passed
      the flower
   her soft touch
           her
  pure loveliness
         allure
     comeliness

  such has passed
 the precious days
     which count
    she was born

Such shall not pass
     the promise
 from the One who 
 did raise our Lord
    “to raise all
    who are His”

James, I came on here to thank you for your comment on my blog, and then to see this, I am brushing tears away, you truly understand my pain, and i will forever treasure this poem and your thoughtfullnes, the Lord is smiling down on your compassion for this girl, every year I go through the whole thing again and again, it remains vivid and heart breaking, I will never forget the knock on our front door and my mothers scream, ever~~
