I Come To You, As Always

Even though the miles are long
if the weather holds
I will come to you
and reach out to touch the warmth
of the sun's rays on granite.

I will trace your letters, and
the dates that hold forever
those memories
that turn in my mind
and closing my eyes
will share a picture of you
from happier times.

I come to you, as always
when mistakes in my life
can't be rectified.
When I expect others to
enjoy life the way I use to
and am trying to recapture.

You don't answer in voice,
but the silence that surrounds
calms me, allows me
to make sense of my life
and promise to do better,
try harder and make wiser choices
the next time around.

M

This is so sweet, and yeah, it brings back some memories too... esp with these lines

I will trace your letters, and
the dates that hold forever
those memories
that turn in my mind
and closing my eyes
will share a picture of you
from happier times.

Thank you for sharing this...

Actually, I was writing about visiting my Father's grave...having a talk with him and making some future decisions that will benefit me, rather than keep me in a holding pattern.

It is always interesting to see how
poems are interpreted
Thank you

I know this feeling.  I believe you are speaking spiritually here for you have beautifully described the feeling I get when I converse with Him.  I will remember your verse tonight when I pray.  Thank you!

And when you go to him, don't you rediscover yourself? Remembering the hopes and dreams he had for you. I know I do.

Maureen, it sounds comforting for you to re-visit the memories with your Dad. I'm glad that you and he had a Father-daughter relationship where you can do this.
I enjoyed reading this. You wrote a lot of true feeling into it.
Hugs,
Ethel
