Poems For The Missing Website

   In August of 2001, Shannon walked from her home, and never returned. There is a person out there, who decieved her into thinking something, that was not true. Someone, simply lied to her.

   Shannon, was 11 years old, and innocent to a world of darkness that surrounded her. But how could she have known of such things -- such things; as hate, or violence? Her innocence was real, and will always be.

   Her brief life, and untimely fate, has marked a certain perspective, or flame if you may, inside of me; that I will continue, and struggle to preserve for the rest of my life.

   Shannon, this is my promise to you; that I will not let you be forgotten. Ever. From time to time, I will visit you. And somewhere, inside of every poem I write from my heart; you will always have your place in them, you will always -- have a voice.

May you always fly.
