(For our sweet Lyra...who now truly is a chipmunk that can really fly! God Bless You forever and your whole family and all who remember her!)



The Chipmunk Diaries
By: Noah Eaton
9/19/02

Sweet little chipmunk, up in the acorn tree
Come down and share your endless story
With tears and laughter and compassion
May the world be your sanctuary...

Poetry police used to chase her away
But here she's only grown stronger than ever before
Rising before every Lake Michigan sunset
Finding much inspiration and meanings of life to implore

Stealthily from her dreaming tree she gazes the world
From winter trees to tapestries and flower children and don't forget Herby Curby
She is an adorable hippie chick, truly a woman of the new milennium
She may not fly like a bird but she can sing true poetry



She pours out her loving heart and tears to us all
Speaking of her husbands, son, friends, and all her family with loves light
We all send angel hugs your way to those you have lost
But know they will always love you and guide you with their grace and will never forget you, for now they are butterflies

With an angelic heart she writes with utmost sincerity
We'll always be here kissing your tears and laughing with you everyday
As you make up a huge part of this circle of love
Crooning with the soul of Joan Baez and cooking with Crayola gourmet

For you are Madame Chipmunk, a little gem of God
Reaching out to cheer us all up on gray days as we do the same for you truly
Keep practicing, sweet chipmunk, and maybe you can fly like those birds
And even if you can't, who cares, we love you so much more wholeheartedly!
Because you are God's sweet golden niece...






"Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..."

Noah, I know Lyra would have loved your words and graphics. She will be missed by all who knew her here at Passions.

May our friendship at Passions bring peace and comfort come to her family.

Hugs sweetie, Marti

Hello Noah

Your beautiful words were so very moving and were written from a heart of love.  Lyra was such a fine lady who touched many hearts, mine being one of them.

Take care......Sue

Very touchingly done for a fine lady.  Ken
