A deaf Beethoven
wrote some of his most sublime
melodies that only he could hear. Could it
not also be that from some unusual endowed
child who is physically distraught or ill, we can
learn a few secrets of human existence..?
I don’t know who it was that said that
a man's worth is not to be
measured by his
emotional
state,
but by the
way he faces death.
What then of your child who
died in an unfamiler state..? Loss is
loss, recovery & healing I guess
is when we die within
our selves,

but I still don't understand it.

for my caring friend Marty...

Well done, my dear friend, well done poem! Yes, we all experience losses in life, but we all experience hope and faith from those losses also. This is a great poem for your dear friend Marty, my friend, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Dale--I think sometimes how brave my Michelle was to die...so young and vulnerable, yet so brave, and yes, she dies many times in me again and agian, but is reborn with love and light...and has taught me many valuable lessons.  

Hugs to you Dale for seeing the value.

(and that other little girl that was me, she learned too)

Nice write, guess that age-old question will be a long time in the answering, yet. Liked the way you phrased it though...
