To Christina...

A tribute to Christina May Shanaberg, who passed from this Earth on June 8, 2012. Her kind presence is missed.

Christina: your heart shimmered upon each write
WritersCafe was where your gift as a writer soared bright
Delighted in reading pieces of the soul
 Though in your health you shined not full

I remember the times you graced my site
You loved the pieces I weaved with light
Nature and writings holding life's pain and love
You were a friend touched by the breeze of a dove

On June 8, 2012 you passed from this cold Earth
Where tragedies plague which should never find birth
Now you're in the healing cradle of a land golden bright
Where angels soothe away the sorrows of night
