Eugene V. Cupps

In loving memory of Eugene V. Cupps who passed one year ago today, April 19th 2011

I 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 snow,

I am sunlight on ripened grain,

I am the gentle autumn rain.

When you awake in the morning’s hush

I am the swift, uplifting rush

Of quiet birds in circled flight.

I am the soft stars that shine at might.

Do not think of me as gone – I am with you still – in each new dawn
