For My Friend Betty:
Roscoe Dixon (1944-2012)
I give you this one thought to keep - I am with you still - I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond glints on snow, I am the sunlight on ripened grain, I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush, I am the swift, uplifting rush of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not think of me as gone - I am with you still - in each new dawn.
Author Unknown
Love,
Teresa, January, Ciara, Kelsey, Trace and Jeff
