~My Beloved
by Laura Kellogg-Hecke


Gabriel came to me one lonely night.

I was struggling through an endless Valley.

I was loosing all hope and almost all faith.

He said to me that every blade of grass

has an angel whispering grow.



I knew then--I had no choice about the Valley I was in.

I did, however, have the choice to grow.

So I kept my faith, my hope,

and my love of the world around me.

I knew one day I'd be at the top of a Mountain

looking over my valley, and

I'd be able to hear the angel's whispers.

I also knew I would grow into something more beautiful

than I'd ever hoped or dreamed I could become.





It was because of the time I spent in the Valley that

I learned more about myself and my purpose in this world.


I kept my faith, my love, my hope and I made it!


My father told me, well done my beloved one,

and the angels whispered.
