Picture by Alan Ayers

* * *

Time moves by so quickly
You've been gone for so long
But my love never falters
It remains so very strong

My heartlight remains dim
Since the day you died
Sometimes grief consumes me
And I feel hollow deep inside

Christmas time should be happy
This I know to be true
But not one day goes by
When I'm not missing you

I see you every day
In pictures around my home
I expose my deepest feelings
Through the words of a poem

I search the sky at night
And I spy the brightest star
I take comfort in the knowledge
In heaven is where you are

* * *

"We sat together for what seemed
like hours.Our hearts were so
finely tuned to one another that
we felt no need to speak"


I am in motion
I am blue
Love is an ocean
I'm anchored in you
- Shawn Mullins

It's a light of something, tenderness, strength, understanding, vision.

Take care

Hello dear Sue.  I have a feeling this is for your Dad.
Take comfort in knowing he is proudly smiling down at you my friend.
Have a blessed holiday!

Thank you all for your wonderful replies.

Nancy - You are right, this was written about my father.  Christmas has never been the same since he died but my writing gives me so much comfort and I feel I would be so lost without it, it is such a big part of me now.

Take care.......Sue
