What A Boy! He was a tender reed of a boy Easily bruised Tiny at birth and not healthy as some But full of pluck all his life Creative with his Legos Artistic in his drawings Mischief twinkled in his hazel eyes And his brave heart was pure He was five when he told his mother He wanted to have Jesus live in his heart His prayer that day was complete Ask, seek, knock and the King of Glory shall come in Who would know then that eight years later This child would be heralded by angels And welcomed Home by God Leaving behind a father and a mother A sister, brother and others To mourn his passing, hearts grief-stricken His name means "Luminous, Bringer of Light" Mightily loved and beautiful to those of us who knew him He was our bright, precious Luke Here far too briefly, but oh, What a boy! ~Written in his memory June 22, 2008 |
