I visit you often
almost every day
And always my son
these words I say
I love you Richard
and miss you so
My tears, my sadness
continue to grow
They say that time
heals a broken heart
And this loneliness inside
will some day depart
But they are not me
and they do not know
There's this hole in my heart
that continues to grow
Sometimes I ask
oh how could this be
Why take you so young
why couldn't it have been me
But the Lord has His reasons
and we are not ones to judge
He saw your beautiful soul
brought you home to His love
I visit your grave
even though you are not there
You are an eagle that files
and soars through the air
You are the wind in my face
that kisses my cheek
A flower that blossoms
from the cold ground that peeks
As I visit your grave and talk to you there
my words of love float up through the air
I turn to leave and look up to the sky
an eagle tips his wing, my kiss goodbye

My wonderful friend Judith, this page is
dedicated in remembrance of Richard's birthday March 20. I hope in
some small way you can find some comfort here. Warm hugs
to to you my friend, Island Princess
Judith inspired me to write this poem from her experience
last December while visiting her son Richard. She said her
words of love as she often does several times a week and
was having a very difficult day with her grief. As she turned
to leave Richard's gravesite an eagle soared overhead as
they often do near the site and the places he loved to visit.
This particular eagle circled around up overhead and then
tipped his wing as if to send a kiss and to let Judith know that Richard is
always nearby and loves his mother so...I like to think the tip of his wing was
a Kiss From Richard. I am sure Richard is watching out for his family. His
sister Lorraine feels his presence with her all the time. And a new addition
has been added to the Hill's family. Richard's beautiful granddaughter
Esponaza Lynn was born June 28th 2001. I am sure he is giving this little one
kisses of love.
"Gone Too Soon"
Like A Comet
Blazing 'Cross The Evening Sky
Gone Too Soon
Like A Rainbow
Fading In The Twinkling Of An Eye
Gone Too Soon
Shiny And Sparkly
And Splendidly Bright
Here One Day
Gone One Night
Like The Loss Of Sunlight
On A Cloudy Afternoon
Gone Too Soon
Like A Castle
Built Upon A Sandy Beach
Gone Too Soon
Like A Perfect Flower
That Is Just Beyond Your Reach
Gone Too Soon
Born To Amuse, To Inspire, To Delight
Here One Day
Gone One Night
Like A Sunset
Dying With The Rising Of The Moon
Gone Too Soon
Gone Too Soon
