The Pool Of Our Tears

‘The Pool Of Our Tears”

It will be impossible to fill the void
That has been placed in our hearts
With the news that Stephanie
Has been taken away.

It will only be yesterday for many
When we last talked and laughed with her.
It will only be a short time ago for all of us
When we last felt the warmth of her smile.

She has left us our memories of the twinkle
In her eyes and the genuine nature of her ways.
She has also left us the sadness of this day
As we draw her face in our hearts.

The pool left here by our tears will be
Deep and the memories we cast in
Shall make soft ripples that will play
And dance with the broken hearts buoyed there.

It has been said that “The depth of our grief
can only be as deep as the height of our joy.”
The depth of this tragedy is
Evident by the echo it leaves behind.

dedicated to the memory of Stephanie Bellian / co-worker and friend who was murdered 8-28-05 in Jamestown NY
