Sparkle Poem

Driving home from the park today Sparkle composed the first stanza of the following poem. She scribbled it on the back of an old receipt. After we got home she immediately copied it over to her poetry book and added the remaining lines. I have taken the liberty to correct spelling and punctuation.

***********
God's Love
***********

God's love, God's love is everywhere.
It blows past you within the air.
God's love, God's love is in your heart,
And of all of it, you're a special part.

God's love wrapped round you like a shawl
Comforts you when you want to bawl.

The chilling overwhelming sadness
Will suddenly disappear,
And you will feel true love, the feeling that is beautifully clear.

***********

Sparkle drew a picture to go with the poem: a girl with black hair and a pink dress surrounded by floating hearts.
