Journey
Paula A.
Early in the evening,
a calm Carolina night;
a son was born,
thus began his flight.
From infant to toddler,
to school to life;
his travels were many,
taking all with strife.
Many lives were touched,
many hearts were warmed;
for he was special,
never to be forlorn.
Early in the morning;
a calm Iowa night;
a son called home,
thus ended his flight.
Through a thin veil,
arms open with love;
Once again with Father,
You watch from above.
The memories, the tears,
all cherished with smiles;
Michael you touched many,
while traveling your miles.
As we watch you grow,
from babe to mature woman.
We want so to protect you from,
all the negatives of man.
Coats keep out the cold,
umbrellas block the rain.
Kind words ease the hurt,
but won't keep out the pain.
Hold your head up high,
don't cause yourself to blame.
Never feel alone,
sing praises to His name.
Let Him ease your heart,
and take away the sorrow.
Gentle hands upon your brow,
to assure a better tomorrow.
Paula
