Samuel Howansky Russo

Our little man, our little angel,

To have and to hold,

And to lose in our time!

But, we have you always,

In our hearts, in our minds

And in the depths of our lives.

Your image we saw first-

Like the smudgy man in the moon-

And into our lives

And into our hands

Came your little being.

So tiny-

Yet, great with our love,

Large with our hope,

And always green

In our memory!

Dedicated to Sean and Deanna Russo on the day of their son’s funeral.
