Don't Fade Away

Don't fade away like the stars do, each morning leaving behind the winds of your stay Don't leave this earth like a shooting comet, son dispersing my grief over oceans of tears Don't fade away by dawn's purple blush leaving agape this hole in my heart Don't leave just yet .... Knock on my window, before you finally go Written in memory of Vito Fundaro who died suddenly in a work accident this week in Mtl.

Very sorry for your loss, Vie -- no matter how deep our faith, the death of a blessed mate or child (even worse) is devastating for the heart. My prayers are with you and your family during this time of mourning. Blessings.

A difficult time for all those who loved him, the awful thing was he went so quick, which may have been a blessing. thanks for taking time to comment Joe, all the best,

Dear Rose, your soulful poem touched my heart so deeply and then I viewed your youtube post associated with this poem and I was moved to the depths of my soul by your poignant song so potent in emotion and remembrance for someone so dear. You have a gift for releasing emotions to the universe to reverberate for us all. My condolences to you and Vito's family and friends. Warmest wishes my soulful friend.. ~Susan

Dear Susan, I am not the best of singers by far, but what I lack in talent I put in with love and caring, thank you for taking the time to watch the video. My heart is bleeding for the parents, !

Oh gosh this made me tear up dear sweet rose. As a mother i can feel these words so deeply and strongly. Just ten days ago, i lost my cousin, was sudden, and it was very shocking and painful. This poem touched my soul …may Vitos soul rest in peace…sending you light always.
