In loving memory of my son Donny Schaeffer

They say "Life comes at you fast"

Just give me this moment to free my soul

of troubled memories of my past.

Loss of my Donny...focus of my tears

The intruders...bold invasion

His life stolen...

Too young for his years.

The innocent struggle to survive

Their father...they are deprived.

A broken heart takes time to heal

When comfort comes...we talk...

Peace I feel.

I must savor the best for today

Tomorrow...I pray I'll be here to stay

Fears and worries will be gone...

With God's help...justice will be served

Nothing more to go wrong.

"Peace be with you" saith the Lord...

Donny's spirit will remain in our hearts

And be forever adored.
