The Journey Begun

Throughout the years I've watched you grow,
it is with pride that I now watch you go.
Observing you, I have seen you strive
your graduation day has finally arrived!

A fine young man, yet tender in years,
set on course, your path is now clear.
The journey begun, your on your way,
the future holding the brightness of day.

Here's a wish I'm sending to you
I pray this one forever rings true.
May love and peace always be yours,
a life filled with happiness and so much more.

It is with pride that I watch you go,
but first this one thing you must know....

YOU ARE LOVED.

For my nephew Scottie......

Congratulations Scott, we are so proud of you!!

Like a red brick,
in a white wall
somebodies brush
forgot to paint...
lonely....(as sung by Tracy Lawrence..)

Donna, this is a beautiful poem for a young
man who is very obviously loved and supported
by his family...

Speak through the eathquake wind and fire

I would rather have one breath of his hair,
one kiss of his mouth,
one touch of his hand
than an eternity without it.
