Recently a 17 year old female honor student on the track and field team, member of the youth symphony orchestra, and peer counselor went for a jog. It was to be her last. Her body was found several days later in a shallow grave. Her alleged murderer has been arrested. She was a beautiful soul....Chelsea King. I wrote this poem to honor her life. Although I never met her, she has touched the world and was a daughter to us all.
********************************************************************************
Beautiful daughter cherished by God,
Destined to touch the world,
Peaceful glow abound your soul,
As you walked in the footsteps,
Of Him who came before you.
Angel in your father's eyes,
Pure joy to all who knew you,
Ever so short your life was lived,
In the hearts of so many you befriended,
Never to be forgotten.
Passion within revealed your true spirit,
Sympathy given for those without,
Light among community and home,
Love shown brightly from your azure eyes,
Your heart filled with forgiveness and grace.
The world became a better place,
On the day that you were birthed,
So precious your life to us all,
Now the world must mourn its painful loss,
For our daughter has been called home.
