| Tribute Poem The dust has fallen on your body Six feet under these West Virginian hills is all that's left The angels have called you back to heaven They didn't know the hurt it would cause For you live on Inside my mind, my soul The earth holds your memory dear The night stars are the twinkle in your eyes A tranquil river is your understanding A small rose bud is your hope for peace A new born foal is your innocence Everything around me seems to whisper your name The rain pours down in silent tribute To your departure from mortal life Every heart that beats is a silent retrobution to the one that has stopped within your very chest Your spirit wanders in the fog and misty morn Bringing redolent memories from the past You whisper my name in the wind You leave silently into the night As my memory fades into unconsiousness ~Melissa Hawk~ ~January 5, 2001~ |
