INFINITY : Death Poetry

Infinity

Do not measure me

By days, weeks nor years,

Or on fractured recall

Of my youth in your tears.

Instead, extend every moment

And grasp beyond each memory,

Then the span of my life in each of you

         Will reach beyond infinity.

Written for my neice, Andrea. This poem is engraved on her marker, pictured above. She died on July, 15, 2007 at the age of 13 in a tragic SUV accident that also killed a 10 year old boy.
