I remember your smile, your laugh,… you gave so freely. It’s hard that you are gone. I sigh and walk along the bay.

Sitting on the lake shore, Which made my heart soar, The water rippled at times, Swirled into beautiful lines, Clouds reflected in it’s mirror,

Brown hawk with spotted tail, soaring on the wind, balancing like a sail. Your piercing cry

Orange full moon with a half smile, a hanging lantern, lighting the way, through dark streets,

An owl hoots on this cool, crisp Spring night. A sound that’s distant yet echos
