Even though it's nearly three years
since you've been gone
I still see you in many
shapes and forms

I see you in the low lying mist
that covers the lake -
so calming and comforting
is this image
Your spirit soars on the wings
of a golden eagle
so majestic and so graceful in flight
I see your image reflected in
the golden glow of the sunset as it
spreads like a blanket across the sea

You come to me in my dreams
bringing comfort and warmth
to my aching heart
You guide me through my pen
as I write my words of love

But mostly I feel you
inside my heart
You remain my guiding light
and the centre of my universe
Memories of you remain
like hidden treasure

Not many people have seen
through the window to my soul
but you have allowed that
to happen as my love for you
is a part of each and every
word I write
My writing compliments the
undying love I feel for you


Whilst my love for you continues
to bloom so will my words
bloom from my heart
Without your guidance I remain silent

* * * *

In memory of my late father who never
had the chance to see me as a writer.
I recently found out that he used to
read poetry with his friend when he
was younger so I guess in parting
he left me with the greatest gift I
could have hoped for aside from his love

Sue, this really touched my heart. My son was my biggest supporter, He was most interested in everything I did, whether it was painting or stitching, and he never saw me write because I also received the gift after he died. This meant so much to me Sue, And I am so happy that you were left with that gift, as it truly is a healing tool. And this poem is wonderful. Your father would have been very proud of you..floria

You are always so gracious in your comments and for that I thank you.

Floria
I know you feel the pain and heartache I describe and your son obviously loved you so very much to impart the gift of writing to you.

Take care........Sue

Joanna
Thank you for your neverending support.

Noah
You always lift my spirit with your lovely words.

Victoria
One of the best things about my writing is that it has allowed me to meet people that otherwise I would not have been fortunate enough to meet, such as yourself.

Take care......Sue
