*jan 17 1927 - april 9 2008. R.I.P. you'll always be with us*
elegant and strong, survivor of life.
you gave us laughter
you gave us life.
old and wise you did appear
but in your heart you were but a child.
forever playing.
but now the time has come to say good bye to you
tho i am far from ready.
to have you reduced to nothing but memories
and a photo in a frame.
my heart cannot take such pain.
and for you my tears do still fall.
