Truth and Joy

Truth* and JoyAlethia Joy Myers
February 3rd, 2009
She never said a word,
But she sings in the choir of the Almighty God.
She never took a step,
But she walks on streets of gold.
She never went to school,
But she is teaching all of us.
She has amassed no earthly wealth,
But she has treasures untold.
She never breathed the air of earth,
But she lives eternally in the presence of Jesus Christ.
--written by Tony's grandma, Pearline Duranske
*Alethia is the Greek word for truth.

What a beautiful poem. She truly is in the presence of our Lord at this very moment. So, thankful for the hope we have, but I know your arms still ache to hold her and you wish she could be here. I am praying for you both.
