In Loving Memory of Sharon Atchley

2/6/1949~10/20/2017

I will 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 the snow,

I am the gentle autumn rain.

When you awaken in the morning 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
