In Memory Of Warren "Newey" Wallace Who Passed Away July 23, 1994. This Poem Means It's Close To The Day He Died. Near The Dawn I felt the familiarity of sadness found years ago As I closed my eyes just to wake in new light Sunrise left an irresistible cry in your name Knowing, I'm near the dawn when you let go of life... Rarely a breeze that I don't breathe the words I miss you Just something to embrace you sent with the winds A reminder that lifeless can even touch the living When almost near the dawn I've been drowning in... Dawn doesn't come easy when I relive our memories If only I could find you somewhere other then gone I've yet to close my eyes and roam the aisles of peace When I've been waiting for you still nine years strong... I hope to hear your voice with the forgiving sun So that my fall to my knees be a much kinder one I'm so near the dawn when true heartache was found Here knowing we never made it to one more sundown... Your leaving can never take a true family's love So, I shine here for everything my Daddy was But, I'm so near the dawn I can hear good-bye ring So near the dawn the day my Dad got his wings... Take my endless prayers and hold them to your heart And, let's hold our yesterdays while we sleep apart For, I will always have these reminding skies And, another dawn to take on at sunrise... I Love you, Dad. Sauni Sauni:)The Only Time I See The Sun Is When I'm Within That Vanilla Breeze.The Only Time I'm One With The Sun Is When He Shelters Me From The Rain. L.S |

"Rarely a breeze that I don't breathe the words I miss you Just something to embrace you sent with the winds A reminder that lifeless can even touch the living When almost near the dawn I've been drowning in..." Such lovely, descriptive words .. this write just blew me away.  |

I hope to hear your voice with the forgiving sun So that my fall to my knees be a much kinder one I'm so near the dawn when true heartache was found Here knowing we never made it to one more sundown... This brought a smile and a tear to my eyes! Our parents will remain, forever and always a part of who we are, and that's the best part. Thank you for sharing the love Saunni~ |

Oh Saunni, this hurt. It touched me and brought tears to my eyes. I'm sorry for your loss. This is a beutiful tribute to your Dad.  Heart hugs to you  Ethel |
