| "Fly Free and Wild As Can Be" by Amber Moonstone 10/21/06 My voice has been silent this day, I am again, compelled to pray, For a beautiful soul that has just passed away. He was just a year over thirty-four, his beautiful soul just starting to soar, with all life's pleasures in store. Instead he was whisked from here, leaving behind many a tear, but his light will never disappear. He was a kind and compassionate one, always looking to have fun, especially, at the shore under the sun. He dedicated his life to mankind, always helping and trying to find the good and never to be blind. Life as a cop had its toll, it made him always in control of his feelings and his soul. But he remained soft inside, a man dedicated with much pride, always walking with a steadfast stride. To his loved ones, much devotion, just as deep as his love for the ocean, always giving love without condition. Let your light shine on us today as we bow our heads and pray for your safe journey on this autumn day.. Rest In Peace, Matthew, we love you. Author's Notes: To a beautiful soul, a special person in my daughter's life, and also, in our family's life. Matthew, you are at peace now, standing with your dad, finally, and knowing that you were loved and cared for in this life. Good bye, and God Bless You. Peace, love and angel light, Matthew. |
