Daniel

A Poem by Leslie Philibert
"

One of my sons was killed in a walking accident in the Bavarian Alps about a month ago - here a tribute to him . He was an Autist.

"
a chaser of the moon
a hunter of the stars
weightless as a night owl
silent as the night is long
a builder of boats and planes
clever and wordless
tied within himself;
so when times faults and darkness looms
and sleep evades us in the cold hours
you are here, you are there, wait for us

you are not lost...

There is no greater pain that I have seen than the pain of someone who has lost a child. Your affection for his gifts are what stands out for me. So sorry for this tragedy.

a beautiful tribute, Leslie...i, too, am so sorry for your loss...
and i believe he will be waiting...we are not supposed to outlive our children, and yet it happens much too often.
