SHINE

It’s been too long,

This path I’ve had to follow

And how I cried when you died,

Much too soon… My child.

 

How was I expected to be

On this motherly journey –

Without your tiny hand,

Tucked safely in mine?

It made me shudder…

 

And yet, I believe that your soul

It lives, it breathes, it shines in me.

And I embrace this role as your mother.

 

Although I stumble

I feel His grace and I am humbled

Because you couldn’t stay,

My child.

 

It’s been too long,

This path I’ve had to follow.

Six years today, I gave you away

To Heaven

It was much too soon.

 

This path I’ve had to follow,

Might not have been my plan,

Yet I trust that your little hand

Will forever be here in mine –

 

So shine my child, shine…

 

Happy 6th Birthday Keaton
