In Honor of Lois Jarvis
 
The Ground Zero Quilt Maker

You touched my heart today
with your wonderful work of love.
No other Angel could take your place
in our Heavenly Home above.

The reason you made this quilt
is very obvious to me.
It places loving memories
where all the world can see.

But it was Jesus working through you
to accomplish such a task.
No one in this earthly kingdom
could have designed each little patch.

When you join all those heads together
in a great starburst of grace,
each and every gazing witness
has their heart set in a blaze.

I may never get to meet you
while we walk the wounded Earth.
But you’ll not escape my notice when
we’re all joined in the big starburst.
