David Shaw

June 17, 1963 - October 1, 2022

Forever earthbound are my feet 
Upon the rocky road ahead,
But high among the clouds, my
thoughts,
And so my heart is comforted,
And if one shoulder aches,
I shift the burden to the other side,
Remembering the times I've laughed,
And not the ones in which I've cried.
Too short indeed these precious years,
To let a dream die needlessly.
Beyond tomorrow there awaits
A time and place designed for me.
And old hopes rising one by one
Are golden wings against the sun!
