• God, He gives and takes away. for there is the Sun and the Moon.

    Under the Sun is Hope, Love and laughter.

    Under the moon there is sadness, dispare and sorrow.

    I cried today, under the Moon, I'm all alone. No one understands.

    Why? Why?

    Such things are beyond me.

    I don't even understand, no one understands

    I'm so angry, How could she leave me all alone with no one who understands.

    Everyone else seems to find the Sun, am I blind? Why is no one else like me?

    I'm frustrated, I feel abandond.

    I find it harder to write under these circumstances.

    Everyday I'm reminded

    I can't write poetry like I normaly do.

    I cry on the way to the Funeral

    During the Funeral, my eye's soaked with tears, I glanced down at the memorial pamphlet And read this scripture verse:

    "The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afriad? Psalm 27, verse 1"

    As I read, I notice the error of my ways.

    I should have known, she left me her favorite scripture verse.

    I knew she would never leave me all alone!

    For I was in the dark, she gave me a light, for I was under the moon, God sent me a light.

    Months before this I was confermed and given a verse of my own...

    she picked my verse.

    "For I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29 verse 11

    I have seen the Sun, I am not alone for I will always remember...

    That "hearts are like diamonds, they look like any old rock in the dark,
    But they are precious in the light."

    Thank you grandma...
    for everything
