Nedra Jo Cioffi

Beloved Wife & Mother

I give you this one thought to keep.

I am with you still, I do not sleep.

I am a thousand winds that blow.

I am the diamond glints on the snow.

I am the sunlight on ripened grain.

I am the gentle autumn rain.

When you awaken in the morning's hush,

I am the swift, uplifting rush.

of quiet birds on circled flight

I am the soft stars that shine at night

Do not think of me as gone

I am with you still in each new dawn.
