A Tribute From

Dave Vlassis, Donor Dad


Stephen J. Vlassis

The River Runs Swiftly

As the river runs swiftly
And winds toward the falls
We wait for our Maker
Whomever He calls

On that tragic night
While winding through the pines
He called out your name
I guess it's your time

That day when they told us
Our world fell apart
For what you took with you
Was all of our heart

We miss you so badly
Our little baby boy
Now all we have left
Are memories of joy

Now when we go walking
And look to the skies
We can't help but wonder
Who got your great eyes

There is only one wish
We've had from the start
That we were unable
To give someone your heart

So as I stand here
Just hoping and wishing
Someday we'll be together
Maybe laughing or fishing

For now I'll say goodbye
With a smile on my face
For I know you're with God
In a beautiful place

I love you and miss you, Stephen, and always will.

Dad
