  AS I WATCHED YOU FROM ABOVE,
  I SENT TO YOU MY BROTHERLY LOVE.
  IT WAS A DAY TO HOLD DEAR,
  FOR THIS WAS YOUR GRADUATION YEAR.

  I WISH I COULD HAVE SPENT THAT DAY WITH YOU,
  GOD, KNOWS I WANTED TO.
  BUT I WATCHED YOU WITH LOVED ONES FROM THE PAST,
  THROUGH STREETS OF GOLD THAT LOOK LIKE GLASS.

  AT COLLEGE I HOPE YOU FIND,
  THAT YOU ARE STILL ON MY MIND.
  AS YOUR HEAVENLY BROTHER FROM ABOVE,
  TO YOU "REA", I SEND MY LOVE.

  WHILE STANDING BY THE CRYSTAL SEA,
  THIS IS MY ONLY PLEA.
  REMEMBER HOW MUCH I LOVED YOU,
  P.S. GOD, SENDS HIS LOVE TOO..

CATHY BOHANNAN--POEM WRITTEN IN HONOR OF
                NIECE'S GRADUATION, MAY,2000.

There are places inside our souls -
that have never been touched.
There are places inside our hearts -
that need to be loved this much.
