On September 4, 1999 my 8 year old daughter Sara was falling asleep watching tv with her mother. It was 11:45 pm our time. She sat up and told her mother that she knows its late but wanted a piece of paper. My wife handed her a sheet and my daughter wrote this poem.

When she finished she handed it to my wife. We are not regular church going people but my daughter does attend a Lutheran School. When we asked Sara why she wrote this her only response has been....."I just had to." This poem may not mean anything to you, but to my wife and I it is too unusual. My sister thinks Sara was given something from an angel or spiritual being in that state of "almost sleep" where she was able to receive some communication.

Anyway I have posted it it for you. Please E-mail my wife and myself with any insight or perhaps an answer. If it speaks to you tell us how. If it is a poem or song that Sara may have heard we would like to know. One quick note......my daughter loved Pokemon cards and Nickalodeon at that time .......she doesn't write poems.

From The End To The Beginning

The end is far The beginning is happened The middle is very close Sometimes people sin Sometimes people cry and the people whom don't believe are lost.

Update:: 12-09-2000 My daughter will 10 in January,2001, She has not written any more poems and still does not have anything to add. She still acts uncomfortable about it. This makes it all the more unusual for us , the fact that the poem is so unlike her.......
