To Donna, Cassady, Kayla, Eve and Shea for John Thomas Kelly Jr. 3/6/2011


I remember us as children…
Dancing to merry tunes
and
wearing pristine white dresses
like little brides on our First Communion Day…
and
kelly green Girl Scout uniforms….
You with
bouncing brown curls
and shining eyes
the rosiest cheeks
and
the sweetest of smiles…
Who grew up
and a wonderful man fell in love
with you
and you with him…
You both forged out in this
beautiful land to
God’s own country
and made a beautiful life
with
your lovely daughters
you were blessed with….
But who knows why
things happen to
the kindest and nicest of men…
I pray God I knew…
I wish I could take
your pain away
like I took your hand
in our childhood games
and dances…
Instead
I take you and your daughters
into my heart
and my soul
and share my light within
to help light yours
to remind you
he is there too
The light within shines eternal
like God’s love
always
within
always
around
never
ever
ending…

All my love…..Cathie Hayes Ulasinski
