Bitter mourning wings flickered across
my cheeks at dawn's first light
Agony finds form in my mind
of such image never imagined
Bathed in purest content and relaxation
of a vision of exquisite heavenly beauty I find
Who took you by the hand and
led you to the crystal blue waters
Total recognition appearing as if someone from a
breakfast table of eight
Sitting in my Father's house rejoicing in
His glory and love
Longing for the time when
we are together again Oh brother
Bitter mourning wings flickered across
my cheeks at dawn's first light

Keith was a very special person. He entered my world and showed me what it is like to be loved unconditionally. Anyone who knew Keith was touched by his kindness. He had so much talent and didn't even realize how much talent he had. He will be missed. I am glad he is at peace now and in God's care.

Keith,
You were always such a joy to be around. I could be in one of my moods and then you would walk through the door and brighten my day. I still look out sometimes and wish I'd see you walking down the hall. My beautiful office reminds each day about the dedication, talent and pride you were so full of. I'm lucky to have known you and will miss you forever.
If a family member reads this please contact me at 515-778-6928. I have some information to share. Also...whoever has Ty please give him a treat for me. I will miss keeping treats in my desk for his visits.

Morning has broken as was so promised
Although darkness still shrouds my mind
Walking through these empty shallow days
Eyes forever blurred
Heart & love leading me through blindly
My mind watching you in deep crystal blue horizon
Never far from the relm
Hearth and home always welcoming you
