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!
