Shannon R. Crawford

In loving memory of my daughter Shannon R. Crawford whose birthday is today, June 11, 1983.

I’m nearly at your resting place

And just as I near

I swear I hear your voice cry out

Mom-I’m over here

I’ve brought some pretty flowers

For you my lovely daughter

I’ll only be a minute

I’ll go and get some water

And as I walk across the grass

To put the flowers in the pot

I say to God forgive me

But I miss her such a lot

They say that everything that’s wished

Comes to those who wait

I wish I could just grab her hand

And run out of that gate.
