Daily Excerpt: Life after Losing a Child (Romer & Young) - River Child
excerpt from Life after L
RIVER CHILD
Our
children are like rivers
Flowing
with the seasons of our lives.
Some
meander gently
Through
pockets of humanity.
Some
flow quietly into oceans,
While
others encounter
Deep
gorges and tumbling waterfalls.
It
is this “challenged river”
Which
carves the deepest banks,
Leaving
the greatest mark upon the earth.
While
some of our river children
Flow
on through many sunsets,
Others
make a briefer splash.
But
when the river child
Who
flowed through many challenges
Disappears,
It
leaves behind those beautiful carvings,
Etched
deeply into the banks
Of
our memories.
