Nelson’s Way
You loved
life with a passion,
Some say you lived too fast.
But you knew ever after,
That Life would never last.
You lived with
such intensity,
You always gave me joy.
I admired that glee filled immensity
Of you, so determined to enjoy.
You always made me
look at things
In a different kind of way.
You could always make me see
A lighter side of day.
And you, with all
your demons,
They haunted you, it seemed.
But you could always find a way
To see a brighter day.
I am grateful for
the gift of you.
Never would I choose to do
It Over.
… Only Again.
Once I was your
teacher,
Once I was your healer,
But now it is you
Showing me
The Way.
- By Nelson’s
sister, Cindy Minter
