I composed this poem in 2006 in memory of my friend Samantha, who died in 2002. (To learn more about Sam’s story read “Lessons for the Wider World”.) The poem has four sections: Fall, Spring, Summer, Winter. Due to its length, I am publishing the poem in PDF format.

Wow is all I can say. I’ll re-read again later.
Melissa, I love this poem…it is such a beautiful tribute to my daughter. I am so glad we were able to spend some time together before you left for Belgium! I hope to visit you there in the future! Namaste…Gail
