Picture by Josephine Wall

* * *

Lately I have been feeling guilty for not
visiting my father's grave as much as I
used to.I seem to be so busy lately and
was feeling sad when I wrote this.

* * *

I don't come here as often
As I once used to do
But my feelings haven't changed
So very much I still love you

Has it really been five years
Since you so sadly passed away
You are always in my thoughts
I think about you every day

My writing gives me strength
It helps me to get through
But sometimes when I'm alone
My heart still pines for you

I rely upon fond memories
Within my heart I hold you dear
I reminisce about the good times
It seems like yesterday you were here

Your love light shines from heaven
I'm bathed in its warming glow
I write my feelings down on paper
Through my pen I let love flow

As I sit upon the sand
And gaze on out to sea
How I wish with all my might
That you were sitting beside me

* * *

"Love is the lifeline I cling to
when grief threatens to pull me down
into eternal darkness"




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

So beautiful Sue...
I know how much you miss you Dad,
for I miss mine too.
This is very inspiring.
~Happy Easter hugs to you!~

To have lived the dream of a love so true...
   is to have seen a glimpse of heaven.

What a beautiful tribute to your father. This is closeness as good as it gets in memory. I'm sure he's proud of you.

Sue, you are visiting your Dad every time you think of him! ~ and every time you write about him, you are keeping a part of him alive in your readers. He is with you always. His spirit is smiling at his beloved daughter.

God bless you both in heaven and on earth.

I truly enjoyed this poem, I makes me think of my Mother gone two years now.  Funny how writing about our lost loved ones keeps them close somehow.
