It was you who made me smile
As you chased the dark clouds away
It was you who stayed by my side
Throughout my dark depressing days

It was you who brought me rainbows
And made my soul soar way up high
In your presence I felt invincible
Like I could almost touch the sky

You took my hand and brought me love
A love so pure like the wings of a dove
You opened up my eyes and made me see
How much love existed deep inside of me

You gave me strength as you guided me
Away from my sadness and grief
Finally I was able to smile again
As I experienced such feelings of relief

You brought me so much confidence
I once lacked within myself
No longer did I feel like an ornament
That collected dust upon a shelf

You gave my life new meaning
There was nothing I couldn't do
How wonderful they are
All these feelings I have for you

I agree, beautiful thoughts!

Suetang:

I agree with the others - beautifully done.  Your words are so tender and heart-felt.  This one is a keeper.

Beautiful poem, Sue...wonderful images and comparisons...truly a great write!

tried to write a letter
to tell you how I feel,
but all I kept on writing
was slipping on the tears from the day...

Very lovely put...it is refreshing to here about love gone right.  There are several folks in here I read everything they write..you are one of them and I am never disappointed.

Death comes not when we cease to breathe, but when we cease to dream.

I am truly overwhelmed by the response to this poem which I must admit is a favourite of mine....the words just came so easily for me on this one.  You are all so inspiring in your kindness and warmth that you continually give to me and I am forever grateful.

Lisann
Thank you so much for your concern but I also write under the name "Wisteria" on other sites.  Many people write under different names on different sites.  I appreciate your thoughtfulness though in trying to warn me.

Take care......Sue
