A poem I wrote as part of a thank~you note to my Grandpa. Any input would be appreciated.

Taking time to always make me smile
Hugs to help me go the extra mile
And smiles that can make me realize
Nothing can make me any less in your eyes
Kind and supporting words; always there
You know just how to show me you care
Obstacles overcome; with everlasting hope
Unbelievable confidence helps me to cope
Giving me all I need, right from the start
Rays of sunshine streaming from your heart
Always there with a story to lift me higher
No doubt; you're here with love that won't tire
Dearest one, that I know will never leave
Persistence and courage, making me believe
And this, a way of thanking you for love I receive

~Susie

Susie,
  That is such a sweet poem!!!  I can see that you must really love your grandpa, and it's great that you have such a good relationship with him. Might this poem be a father's day gift for your beloved grandfather?  Anyway, great job.  I've found that I've enjoyed all of your poems, you have great talent!

Nikki~
Thanks so much, I'm glad you enjoyed it. No, not a Father's Day gift, actually. My grandpa just gave me $345 when he found out I was a part of the Miss Pennsylvania Junior Teen Pageant and I needed someone to sponsor me, like always, he was ready to help me and this is just my way of thanking him. Thank you for such a wonderful compliment too  .

~Susie

Very sweet. Your work is a very nice gift to give someone you care about. I think that he will love it.
