In Memory of Lovetta Carr 11/22/37-3/30/86

©1986 M. Bennett Hooper


Crippled birds are no less beautiful
As they remembering how to fly
Never cease struggling.
Misguided tenderness turns to scor
in the breast of one who feels unloved.


Remembering them in their days of promise
I can weep warm tears for the picture beauty
Lost now in years past.


Crippled birds are no less beautiful
As they sleep peacefully
Struggling no more.


Love is finally found in the comfort extended by
The creator in granting for the troubled soul
Eternal peace.
Crippled and beautiful bird
Farewell with love.

A disability is only a temporary set back. On the final day it really doesn't matter. Blessings, Paul.

A wonderful tribute to one who was apparently an exceptional soul. Beyond the crippling and physical end, the enduring grace expressed through these lines shall allow her to live on in a manner exactly as you describe: "no less beautiful."
