Return to God

A poem by Luke David Wilkins

Dave’s last remaining grandparent passed away a few weeks ago. His mom’s mom, Faie Holt, lived a long and full life. She was 88 years old and she had many daughters, sons in law, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Since Dave & I like to expose our children to all things real we took all three to the funeral service and had a wonderful time celebrating Grammie’s life. Dave’s mom, Charlene, wrote a poem for her mom that was read at the service. Apparently the poem inspired our 7 year old to do some writing of his own. I’d like to share with you Luke’s poem today [sic].

Return to God

By Luke David Wilkins 3/29/10

First your born.

You cam alive the first day.

You get biger and grow!

You’ll turn into a grownup.

You do things you coulnd (couldn’t) do.

And have kids.

You’ll get older and older.

Soon you’ll get older and digh.

Be happy your with lord now.

And theres no more sadness or madness.
