Poem of Remembrance

God

Who are you?
Why do you love me?

I face who I am,
I am nothing,

I am a flower in your field,
Made by your hand,

but my beauty fades,
I die,

Death seeks me,
the inevitable,

Yet in you there is life,
life that starts tonight,

beauty that is yours
you give to me,

An adoption,

Am I really your child?

This truth,
wondrous,
mysterious,

I am

loved by God,

because,

I AM

decides to make me worthy
