Zach

So it has been about a year since my nephew died in a car accident in Germany. I was going through some of my old documents (to look for tax stuff) and found a poem I wrote about Zach after we found out he had died.

At the time, it was a very powerful, heart-felt poem. I can still feel it, but as they say, time has a way of healing. I thought I would share it:

To Zach

Thank you for being you.
I will miss your smile.
I will miss your laugh.
You were a brightness in our lives.
My pain will subside someday.
But you will be in my heart always.
I knew you as a boy,
But I will never know you as a man.
May you know comfort and joy and love with God.
Because that is what you gave to us.
Farewell my Tigger friend,
You will be with me always.
