My tears are like the quiet drift
Of petals from some magic rose;
And all my grief flows from the rift
Of unremembered skies and snows.
I think, that if I touched the earth,
It would crumble;
It is so sad and haunting,
So tremulously like a dream.
Annette, Tom, Payton & All who Love Dillon, I have no words.
Only prayers for Peace & Comfort for all of you. Rest in Peace sweet Dillon.
I’m so very very sorry.
