The Circle Of Love

Loves Lessons In Life And Death

By Kelli Sheckler-AmsdenPublished 12 months ago 1 min read

He lay tired in his bed

Waiting for his family

Reliving his life, one tale at a time

Offering smiles

His way of supporting

Helping his child

Find the way through goodbye

He raised them up

Taught them all about living

Here they were now

Being taught how to die
