God's Intervention
So young So full of life Energy Happiness Before her A future, Marriage. God said Not here, But above Her spirit shall live. She is not dead Though her body rests. You who are deeply saddened Rejoice Because she lives Where there is Eternal youth Life abundant Energy unlimited Happiness beyond description A never ending future A marriage supper That we all look forward to. She waits there And we wait here. As we wait Let us not concentrate On the grief. Let us rather Reach out in love To family members Still with us, To those around us. Then God can give healing and joy, Till we too Reach the eternal goal.
