The Gentle Wind

Walk out to the gentle wind
Where felt to the lobe hear my name
Walk out in the sun
Where felt to the skin receive my warm embrace
Walk out in the rain, and hear my voice in the drops upon the pavement
Walk out to waters
Hear my song and be consoled
For I am not mere memory,
Nor dead tissue, or lying bone
In time turned back to dust, left as grateful reminder
For a life gifted to us, but never ours to keep
But...

AN ODE TO SHAWN.....by VIRGINIA D'Amico......The still surrounds me..And memories linger on..I seek to find you, from dusk 'til dawn..Be gone Oh wretched stealer of dreams..Let me embrace all that life means..A warm caress..A sweet kiss..Upon the cheek of the Grandson I miss..You are only but a thought away..An ever present light..A beacon to guide, though you're out of sight..You were a gift..A treasure to share..As you gave of yourself, without any wear..Glad are the hearts of all who...

Missing your face....missing your phone calls....missing the way you would say,"Hi Grandma".....missing everything about you....your winning smile....your kindness....your sense of humor....the respect you held for yourself and for others....your appreciation for friends and, most especially, for family! Each day brings another delightful memory of the fun times in watching you grow from that sweet little boy to the wonderful man that you became......Loving you to Eternity and beyond, Grandma!!!

I read somewhere that every individual is sent to earth to accomplish an assigned mission by GOD..that mission may take some or many years. In your case Shawn, your mission was very short. Too short indeed! But, increadiably enough, you've impacted many ...many people; even those that didn't get to personally meet you..like me. Yet I got to know you through the woman that knows you best & loves you forever and ever ..your MOM! Ofelia Rodriguez

The loss of someone special is always a great loss
It always leaves a void behind... hard to fill deep inside us.
All the laughter...all the smiles... and even all the tears
All summed up to a great memory conjured up by many years.
God chose him to be in His kingdom and took him there
Because good angels like him, God knows that are rare.
Rest in Peace Shawn, I never got the pleasure of meeting you but your dear mother Elaine was my sister's co-worker and I know...

Dear Shawn,
Thank you for your kindness and your believing heart. Your friend, Tamara Boole
