LEAH IS SAFE

As I looked upon your tiny, delicate face,
Pressed my lips gently against your
cheek.
Tickled your chin, you looked up
and smiled.

At that moment I knew God had stormed
heaven,
Sought for me, one of his most precious
rosebuds.

And as weeks has turned to months, and
then to years my first impression of you
was correct.

Do you remember that terrible accident,
So long ago
Bodies thrown upon the highway, blood
flowing freely.
The smell of death was everywhere.
Out of all this chaos, you stood up
and walked away.

THE ONLY SURVIVOR.

I know in my heart of hearts, GOD
Looked down, and thought, I must
protect my rosebud from harm.

When the phone call came, my heart
felt as though it would burst
Then a voice said, Leah is safe.

I am eternally gratefull, for you.
You have become my mainstay,
My true friend, my daughter, my
first love.
 

Author's Notes/Comments: 

A rosebud in my heart's bouquet.
Protected by GOD that day.
