Rebirth

Linda Parks Owens 1952 (Rockingham, NC) – 2012 (Rockingham, NC)



Rick was an outstanding scientist, educator and human being.
Hi Rick, You were the stars that were seen in your Mom's eyes.
You were the diamonds dusting her lashes as she cried.
You were the thought that turned her lips up in a smile
You were the inspiration that made her go that extra mile.
Once in a while God sends down one of His "special" ones.
And its the greatest of honors to birth one of these star born.
They shine so early and brightly, they light up our life.
We can never imagine that one day they might die.
But, Grieve not proud Mother,look up into the night sky.
Rick's one of the brightest stars lighting God's Heavenly night.
