In Memory of you
(Sept 21 1938 - Aug 17 1996)

Did we just hear the thundering ring of your laughter
...

Your family looked up to you
The only one who got well schooled to raise high your name and theirs
...

To one of the best teachers I know. Ms. A.R.

A note in appreciation of you...
...

There is something that draws the soul out to you
There is a lack of fuel if your presence is not felt
The minutes sluggishly draw past, wondering where you are and what you do
The heart beats in expectation when you walk by
...

Crush continues and dreams are borne
In the thought and in the heart
These confines roam free and wild
Bringing out such pleasure
...

heart is light
smile with the thought of you
the soul like a butterfly sours and flutters
when thoughts of you drift by
...

My valentine
Come lay your weary head by me... right here on my shoulder
Come let me smoothen that frown on your brow
And save your heartaches for tomorrow.
...

I felt I had to write this down
Of how much it would mean to me
To have you here with me
Even if it turned out to be a nocturnal habit
...

I got used to caring about you
And got fond of worrying over you
I liked having these arms around you
As if I could protect you from everything……
...

I thank God for you...
for the meaning and understanding you bring into my world
you touch my heart in so many ways
and continue to touch my life in ways you can never imagin
