Day 31 -- beautifully written by Bill Lavin

Hannah Skies

Can you possibly know someone you’ve never met?
A memory from Mom, stories told, can’t forget.
Classmates & teammates with memories galore
that describe this young Angel they all so adore.
A gesture, a hustle, lemonade from her brother,
A legacy, a life, a girl like no other.
Her legendary Goal, spectators blessed just to see,
Opposition players still honor number #3.
Angels Army came to know her as her legacy grew,
We must build a playground ‘long side John n Sue.
Her family and friends became part of mine
So in no time at all in her honor, kids climb.
The impact of angels is pure, undeniable,
And the signs sent from Hannah became so reliable.
No matter where in the world we watch the sun rise
And no matter the weather that may cloud our eyes.
We’re trained now to smile through our trouble and sighs
Overhead we’re inspired by great “Hannah Skies”
‘Cause she told mom she’d be there as rays burst through the clouds.
And now her story continues, no doubt she is proud.
Your family has honored you with such bravery and grace.
Even we who’ve not met you nor ever seen your face
Know you and love you for the inspiration you give.
So, in the skies, in our minds and our hearts you will live.
So, how can I know someone I’ve never met?
Guess her story’s too big for the Skies to forget!
