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!

Wonderful tribute. SO sad that a young child loses his/her life, but I believe we are forever beings, or at least we last as long as we want to. Perhaps he'd come just to touch the lives of your neighbors and friends and then quickly move on to something else. Thank you for sharing, it touched me.

With a voice that speaks from the depths of curiosity a child is certainly the rouser of passions that seeks the light. Nice write.
