A Prayer For Caitlyn

The reflection of the forest lies upon my spring waters.

Tell me about your stillness

Tell me about peace

Let me feel the warm rays of the sun rest upon my cheek

Let me sing again

Let me dance again

Let me follow you

This sadness leads me on

A path of forgiveness

A path of hope

A path of faith

I may not be a religious person but in my heart I know you are with me

Hear my calls of grief

Hear my sobs within

Hear my disbelief

Come walk with me

Lead me out of this storm

Lead me to that place

Called acceptance

Called love

Called hope

Peace be with you

As you lie upon green pastures

As you rise up

Let me touch you one last time

I am comforted by happy memories of you

I keep thinking of all of my departed ones

People and pets

For they are there

To take you under their wings

And teach you to fly

And she came to me whispering through each treetop sharing love, only love, pure perpetual love in each word. In each sentence bloomed the seeds of our conversation and in each page I could feel its smooth, calming flow while each chapter cultivated the feelings that only time can heal. And so this book is written.

There is a heaviness in the air tonight, last night, as well as tomorrow to come. Loss at such a young age… loss. Oh Caitlyn you will be missed. May only love prevaiI. Today I weep, we all weep. May your family be comforted by others. Within our hearts today..my heart, my sweet Hannah’s heart, Elaine’s heart, Jesse’s heart and so many more… may it shelter your family with strength, support and compassion.

What was once a shining star is now shrouded with pain and suffering but when this black cloud is lifted, the stars will sparkle again... yet this time it will be a seed from a light cultivated with the joy and love in which she shared with all.
