NOAH

A tribute to a departed soul, a child that fought an immense battle and fulfilled the life's of every person in my home village. To his family my heart breaks for you, be well my darlings.

Endearing soul made angel in waiting by God,

Crept forth in time of need and feeling,

Commanded to earth in the form of a child,

Born perfect to a village jaded and seeming.

 

Crafted lives never stay long for this world,

That smile broke hearts and demanded tears,

A family protective and ready to fight,

Yet spirits know best and cast us with fears.

 

A person of unshakeable strength against all,

Neither fault nor sickness gained power over you,

Fought against those who said let him be,

A warrior never giving up that second of few.

 

Dear Noah your life means strength to us all,

A child taller that men or mountains or sky,

You may have gone for now from loving embrace,

Dear boy keep soaring and watch over us, fly, fly, fly.

Author's Note

I only ask that you be kind.

It's BEAUTIFUL.
To be honest, I didn't the first part and drove right through to the poem so I thought you were writing about the Noah who had the ark.
It did seem like they both went through similar feelings with different times and circumstances.
I'm sure Noah's in a better place and blessings to his family.
I have a nephew named Noah and know my family would be devastated if he died.
Children are such a big lively part of any family, like Mr. Scott said, they teach us much.
Well done with this piece!

"A child taller that men or mountains or sky," that or than?

This is a thoughtful, moving work - with heart and caring. I'm sure his soul has wings.

Take care Thom

Thom...really man, I was honest - "THAT" or "THAN"? I don't blow smoke just speak my mind.

Heartbreaking.. I'm on the verge of tears especially at the last line. Wow. The positive response and the acceptance of a raw death is noteworthy. Very well-penned and I'm sorry for the loss.

Beautiful imagery - so touching. What a wonderful tribute to a life that ended far too soon. My heart goes out to Noah's family and you village.

Much beauty,
The piece invokes such prestige and honor to the individual. Strong use of visual ideas help to create the beauty you give that soul, not sure but I would say you did Noah justice. Be well, and have peace.

Beautiful Thomas, you have penned a wonderful tribute to this young person who, though they did not live a long life, enriched every other life they touched during their short existence. Very nicely done.

Nice to see you again.
