this is your last chance.
here.
before you rush out that door
into your cluttered agenda
look up.
just once
take time to breathe
take time to think
take time to feel.
pause just one second
with your hand on the knob
already
and appreciate the world
the beauty around you.
in a blade of grass
in that sunset
in the laughter of the little girl
you used to be.
in the dream you had
so long ago.
remember how to live.
Dear Anna,
you packed so much LIFE into your 19 years, Love,
and you left such an impression on so many lives
here. You will never be forgotten. We miss you SO
much, and can't wait to run barefoot with you again
in God's glorious heaven.
always,
Mom
