Another Poem about Logan...

My youth kids in Pennsylvania are so talented. One in particular has always been dear to my heart (as they all are), and he recently wrote a poem that he shared with me tonight. It is so beautiful!

Why take the boy
So innocent and young
Why take the breath from a life
That has not yet begun

His feet were as light
As the joy in his heart
His laughter would end
From the same place it would start

But what had he done
To deserve such a fate
Why should he be punished for a love
So unfailing and great

The one single fault
That he ever had
Was to bring life to the family
Joy to his mom and dad

He can not be gone
He was so few in years
Why should his life be remembered
With our sorrow and tears

It's not fair that his absence
Should leave such a dark empty space
Why did it have to be Logan
I would have walked in his place

But what we all must remember
With our hearts and spirits so dampened
Is that he is walking and talking
With both his fathers in heaven....
