Kitty a Collection of Poems Faith, Life, Family, and Friends

Life is a God given gift,
Given with love,
Our bodies crave his presence,
The love we have has been given to share
Let us smile with others and share their joy,
And when at times their sad and blue,
Let us weep with them,
And share a tear or two,
The hand that reaches out in love is given and shared with God above.
Remember, when you see someone you know is needing a kind word or a comforting smile,
Remember this; you will never know, how much you've helped that person,
And so be ready to reach out to listen to help to share,
And to show others that you really care.

The two men in her life, one she fell in love with and the other she grew to love, who came together because of a promise made on the death bed of his good friend and husband of Kitty.
