Your Story Matters

This morning I shucked the corn

I stood amazed at each ear

It was all a perfect fit

How did that happen

We will have a good dinner

We will taste how good it is

The taste buds are amazing

How did that happen

The laughter at the table

Will come from the food and love

Family that cares and gives

How did that happen

The little children talking

Running all around the room

Feeling the safety and love

How did that happen

The secret is what matters

A love beyond our thinking

Comes from deep within our lives

How did that happen

We are here to celebrate

The life of one dearly loved

Who is special to us all

Her name is Missy

Missy was born on this day

Just thirty-nine years ago

It was on a Sunday morn

Love entered our life

There is wisdom in a child

Her eyes were large and deep blue

I knew that she was special

Delight to my eyes

My view was transformed

She quickly changed my life here

Giving us pure joy

His love made it happen
