Shannon by Donald J McNeely Tuesday, September 09, 2008 Rated "PG" by the Author. Share Print Save Become a Fan And yet another tragedy in our family. Our granddaughter was killed in a car accident just a few days ago. Just twenty years of age, she was more like a daughter to us. She always told me I looked too young to be a grandpa, so she called me DonnieBoy. I just had to write this poem.
Shannon She is now forever gone her laughter is silent now. We must somehow carry on, But I really can’t see how. I wish I could have said to her The things felt in this poem, whenever she had called to ask if grandma might be home. I’d just say I’ll tell her, Or to call her on her cell. She’d ask how I was feeling, And I would tell her very well. Then she would say the words That always brought me joy. Words that I cannot retrieve, I love you DonnieBoy And all I can say is, Bye. Don .
