In honor of Lillian Havenga's Birthday ~ 10-22-22 > 9-2-21
You built your nest
strong and secure,
and placed four eggs
into a woven
basket of hope.
Ready to nurture
the invisible future.
You have recently flown away,
above the clouded blue sky,
and entered Heaven's bright glory.
Your descendants
have grown and matured,
and now carry on
your legacy of kindness.
And have themselves
built nests of hope
where their fledglings
will either grow and thrive,
or die too young.
