poem for Chrysanthemum

Let me share the following poem by Russel Kelfer with you . And I wish I could read to Chrysanthemum as she is taken by ambulance to the airport. Mentally the words of this poem floated in the air towards her. There is a lump in my throat and I cannot remove it.

You are who you are for a reason.
You are part of an intricate plan
You are a precious and perfect unique design, called God's special
woman or man.

You look like you look for a reason.
Our God made no mistake.
He knit you together within the womb,
You are just what he wanted to make.

The parents you had were the ones he chose,
And no matter how you may feel,
They were custom-designed with God's plan in mind,
And they bear the Master's seal.

No, that trauma you faced was not easy, and
God wept that it hurt you so;
But it was allowed to shape your heart
So that his likeness you grow.

You are who you are for a reason,
Yiu have been formed by the master's rod .
You are who you are, beloved,
Because there is a God !!

I would not want Chrysanthemum or myself to lose our belief in God. We have to hold on to the Great Creator.

And I wish readers of this blog would write in their prayers and poems to let this blog grow...so that Chrysanthemum can live for a long long time.

If you happen to drop by, please give me a reply in support of my cause. If I can get a hundred prayers (copied from any where for cancer patients) I believe God will hear our prayers to make her live and look after her children and train more teachers.
