OCTOBER

White foam and a crystal
blue sea.
Sand as white as sugar.
Extended summer in October.
Soft breezes touch my face
like a cool drink of water
quenches my thirst
And Eddie by my side
every step of the way.
This wonderful man
of thirty four years.
Laughter streams
through our limited days.
We hold hands
until heaven reaches down
and leads into
eternity.
