In memory of Becky Bell
(#1Scarlett)
who died on 2nd Nov 2001
aged only 53 years.
Please pray for Joe and all that knew her.
Every life that Becky touched burned just a little brighter for her touch. She is missed by more people than I can comfortably imagine.
Almost twenty years ago Becky's brother wrote this poem for her. Much later she passed it on to me. Now is my turn to pass it back.
A cloud weeps as the earth pulls the rain from
its ethereal grasp, and yet the earth rejoices
to receive back the water it so freely gave.
The cloud is for a time buffeted by stormy winds.
Its chaos flashes through its being.
but after a time the sun emerges to reveal a
glorious vista of beautiful earth.
It is only now that the cloud may rejoice in its
loss, knowing that all things work for good
to those that love the Lord.
