To My Grandson, 'L', New Year, 19--

[this poem was written after grandson's attempted suicide]


God will never fail thee, He will not forsake,
His eternal covenant will never break.
Resting on His promise, you need never fear--
God is all sufficient for the coming year...

My heart goes out to him and the pain he is in...your poem will bring solace. My niece tried the same and is doing better 5 years later. I wish your family healing. Jeanne
