This is for everyone who has had the priviledge

of a mentor's respect and love...

and fears the day that they will have to let go.

For all of you have already been forced

to let go. I admire your strength.

UNTITILED

Many have fallen like petals in a summer's wind,

but you were the stem that kept us together.

In troubled waters we listen for your voice

that brings us the strength and comfort we need.

Just as the sun rises and sets with each passing day,

you are the constant in our lives that we dearly enjoy.

FALLEN HEARTS

I can trace my fingers

across the broken bones

of yesteryears far told.

I feel the blood spilled poppies

that haunted whispers blow.

My heart lays deep buried

with the grievances of families

who lost love's last touch

upon the heart of Normandy.

I strive to hear the sparrows

singing strong and brave

to a country's failing sorrow

and a love that can't be saved.

From these poppies grow

an honour long foretold

of simple people and simple lives

who's darkness brough my light.

I will never see thee,

love will pass you by,

your dreams will create a mist

that lonely hearts will cry.
