An Ode to Mercedes

An Ode to Mercedes, my constant companion
March 1992 to January 15. 2009

And now I lay you down to sleep
You're finally at rest
My love for you I'll always keep
You were the very best
You gave me joy for sixteen years
A memory for each new day
Then came the day of all my fears
The day you passed away
A part of me you took with you
And I can't stand the pain
But when this life on earth is through
I know we'll meet again.
