Melody's journaling on Her Life

Posted in Learning Life

Melody is our eight year old.  she is a wonderful writer and expresses herself well on paper.  Last Friday she shared with me this journal entry that I thought was very beautiful.

My Life is Like a Rose

One day my petal falls off
But I know that I am getting closer to see God
Sometimes I wonder if today I am going to die
But I know that it is in God's hands
So little children remember
Our life is like a rose
and we must follow God
until our petals are all gone
And when we die we will go to heaven
And God will give us an eternal rose.
By Melody J. Johnson  8 years old.

Please do not think that this is morbid.  We have had much death the last 2 years and our Melody has had to deal with losing ones that she has known and loved, death is very real to her.  I am thankful that she has such a healthy view of life and knowledge that each day is indeed like a petal falling off of a rose, but, drawing us closer to God.

It is amazing what children can understand so young. Your daughter may become a famous poet.
