In Loving Memory of
Stephen William Boston

October 29, 1983

Stephen, You Will Always Be In My Heart

I sat there wrapped in your blanket so tight,
waiting for you on that dark gloomy night.
Hours go by, and still you are not here,
this is when we all begin to fear.
The phone rings, it was a message from a mom,
after hearing the news I prayed she was wrong.
This wasn't supposed to happen to you,
you believe in the best and your heart is so true.
The cops came by and questioned us all,
this is when my body began to take a fall.
I can't believe it happened, it seemed like a dream,
I thought nothing could seperate our little team.
I sat there confused, I didn't know what to do,
my advice in life always came from you.
You are a fabulous person always seeking the best,
but it seemed that that night you failed your test.
Visions of you keep running through my head,
that is why all I can do is lay here in bed.
I lay here thinking of all the plans we had,
we were supposed to meet each others mom and dad.
I got to meet your family and it was great,
I felt like I was part of it, like it was fate.
We were supposed to go snowboarding, bowling and travel,
but then this nightmare struck down and unraveled.
I don't know what i'm going to do with my life,
but I know that for sure next time i'll think twice.
It feels like someone ripped my heart from my chest,
out of all the guys in my life you were the best.
I want everyone to know I have much love for you,
and the way it is in my heart I know it is true.
Stephen you will always be in my heart,
and it has been that way from the very start.

*Stephen passed away on November 16, 2003. I wrote this poem the night after my dear friend Stephen was killed in a car accident. He was the passenger of a drunk driver. I was with him that night at his house. They left to go to the gas station... Stephen never made it back.*

One Month
A month of my life has gone by without you,
I still sit here not knowing what to do.
I see you everywhere and I hear your voice,
God, why can't I go back and make a different choice?
That dark night in November haunts my thoughts,
my head is back to being distraught.
I've never felt pain like this before,
and I know along the road there is more in store.
But no pain will ever hurt like this,
I keep thinking and dreaming of our only kiss.
One month without you brings a new meaning to "Hell On Earth",
They say life is supposed to be beautiful in all it's worth.
Why can't I accept and understand,
that Angels came down and took you by the hand.
Why couldn't they come and grab my hand too?
For Christ sake, all I want is to be with you.
I know I made bad choices in the past,
but I wish my punishment didn't last.
They didn't have to take you away for me to see,
that being with you is the way it was supposed to be.
So now i'm left behind, empty without you,
without you in my future I don't know what i'll do.
I don't see much of a future for me,
the future I knew before involved you AND me.
There is nothing anyone can do to help,
I just hope no one has to feel the way i've felt.
One month has gone by, me without you.
I don't think i'll ever know what i'm going to do.

* I wrote this poem on the one month anniversary of the accident. I cried everyday. The pain never goes away. We never get over it... we get through it.*

Amazed By Our Connection
Here I am, amazed by our connection
whoever thought we'd be so close without affection.
Our spiritual bond is stronger than I knew,
but I am glad I share it with you.
We understand and sense eachothers feelings,
without speaking a word like we were supernatural beings.
I can't believe I haven't known you that long,
because the bond we have is undeniably strong.
Although I may never get to feel your touch,
I'm sure my body couldn't handle that much.
We may forever only be close friends.
I hope this is a friendship that never ends.
Even if you move far far away,
in my heart you will always stay.
So I am here, saying this to you,
because I know our friendship is so true.
I sit here now amazed by our connection,
in aww that we're so close without affection

* This was a poem that I wrote a week before Stephen was taken from us in that car accident. This poem and the next one were to be his Christmas presents. He is a very special person.*

Stephen, you are very special to me
Telling me how things are supposed to be
Everything you've said I take it to my heart
Perhaps this is just a really good start
Hoping that you will never leave my side
Everyday I will want you for me to confide
Nothing will ever stop our friendship tide.

What did I do to desearve somone like you,
I always love the way you speak so true.
Losing your friendship would tear me apart
Look at our relationship so close to the start.
I will never forget the advice you've given me
Always reminding me that I am free.
May God take us where we should be.

Before I knew you my head was distraught
Only we could tell our bond couldn't be stopped
Sitting here just gives me the chills thinking of you
Today is the day I show my feelings are true
Only you could make me feel this way
Nothing will ever keep me away.

* Stephen William Boston is nothing short of a saint. I have never met anyone so kind hearted. He cared about everyone he met. He is what I describe as the "perfect man". God obviously was in need of a saint and Stephen was nothing short of perfect for that role. His spirit is still here. We still receive "signs" that he is around. He is in our prayers, our dreams and most of all in our hearts.*
