Picture by Josephine Wall

* * *

I never knew how much I loved you
Until the day you passed away
But your love lives on inside me
And I think of you each day

So many of your interests
Have now become a part of me
One of my passions is photography
Through the lens, so much I see

I feel compassion for other people
And believe I have so much to give
I help those who are less fortunate
Of my life, there's much to live

A gift of self is priceless
We all need love to see us through
My humble hand of friendship
Is what I'd like to offer you

If my words have touched your heart
Or have caused your face to smile
Then my words were not in vain
And my reward is so worthwhile

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

AHA!  You wrote this for me!  LOL...
but that is exactly how I feel...
even when I don't see it right off,
I feel it, snap it, and find it later...

I enjoyed this very much, Sue...

and that dog?  She's my cousin's Spitz...
I want one just like her!

Sue,

this reminded me of my step-dad
Thank you . . .

I never knew how much I loved you
Until the day you passed away
But your love lives on inside me
And I think of you each day

Definitely smiling here.  Very much enjoyed the read and studying the pic was a treat as well.  Nice to see you adding your smiles around here.
