A poem ... written 9/2/2010
I wrote this poem as the 4th anniversary of Summers death loomed large. September once again decided to make it's appearance. All the sights and sounds of the month bring back the floodgates of memories and now triggers of the last days of Summers life. I begin to relive them in my mind as I mentally prepare to honor Summer and her life while the sting of her death consumes me once again. To forget is impossible ... so don't ask me to! To remember is painful ... there is nothing you can say or do! Just let me have my moments when I need to shed some tears Don't tell me I don't trust God enough to wipe away my fears. I have to take each day that comes and find a way to live Summer may be gone ... but she had so much more to give. Her story touches lives each day ... more than I'll ever know I have to share and speak of it ... somehow it helps me grow. Grow to understanding of this senseless act of one who took my precious Summer ... it's never really done! Her presence in my life had meaning ... her passing ... not so much Her death gave my life new purpose ... to reach out and touch. Please hear the message my heart speaks for a voice that is now still Don't drink and drive to be the cause for someone else to feel this chill ...
