Salazar -- In Memory of John A. Salazar August 26, 1957 - May 21, 2001The want of you is like no other thing; It smites my soul with sudden sickening; It binds my being with a wreath of rue- This want of you.It flashes on me with the waking sun; It creeps upon me when the day is done; It hammers at my heart the long night through-This want of you.Mad with demand and aching despair, It leaps within my heart and you are-where? God has forgotten, or he never knew- This want of you.John, you are missed greatly, already. From Sarah, Anthony, Christina, Rebecca, Ramon and Nadia Rae.
