as autumn's leaves
f
a
l
l
and winds s w i r l,
you are reminded that
another year has passed
since a piece of your hearts
went to heaven with
your precious
little girl.
and
it
still
hurts
so
deeply.
through the pain,
heaven whispers.
kisses from heaven
leave little dew drops
to cherish forever and
a day.
heaven whispers:
you are not alone.
"Do not be afraid,
for I have ransomed you.
I have called
you by name;
you. are. Mine.
When you go through
deep waters,
I will be with you.
When you go through
rivers of difficulty,
you. will. not. drown.
when you walk through
fires of oppression,
you will not be burned up;
the flames will not consume you."
always your hearts believe this,
yet sometimes that belief
is wrapped
in heartache
and tears.
belief is able
to remain rock solid
even
in
the
storm.
tears mingle
with drops of rain.
cries of the heart
swirl with the wind.
and you wonder how long
the hurt will continue
to
hurt.
at that very moment
you receive a kiss from heaven.
drops of sun collide with
drops of rain to form
drops of grace.
a rainbow stunning
stretches from one
horizon to the other.
and in that rainbow
you see Autumn smile
as colors dance for joy.
in your mind's eye
she dances at the
sight of colors
flung across
the sky.
when drops of rain
freeze as winter grips,
you hear Autumn's
laughter so pure
as snow flakes
softly
blanket
the ground.
in your mind's ear
you hear that
laughter as
she gazes at
winter's first snow.
kisses from heaven.
Autumn's legacy lives on
through every rainbow,
through every snowflake
and especially through you,
her parents and siblings and
grandmas and grandpas and
uncles and aunts and cousins
and friends.
Autumn has
touched and
will continue
to touch countless
lives as
other children have
been given a voice
because of Autumn's
life song and story.
thank you for sharing her
song and story with us.
