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.

-Pat Youngosing a Child
