A Little Life

This is a Poem that Theresa wrote last night. She was thinking about Katlin and her loss of Reilley.

Life is like unto a flame,
that of a candle whose light shines for a family to see,
Whose warmth touches all those close to it.
So small, so precious and such a beauty,
it holds hope for a future with light,
it may be small but still shines so bright,

And with a wisp of whim gone is the light,
the wind of change chose to extinguish,
and leaving darkness and sorrow in its wake,
a cold embrace takes those who lost their light,

Yet hope is not lost,
In a stream of sorrow new life can be born,
In the wake of tragedy rebirth will come,
bringing peace, hope and love again to those
who thought it was lost.

A new candle is lit,
a new light will shine, and glow and grow.

By Theresa Jones for Reilley
