Dedicated to all my wonderful poet friends
who continue to encourage and inspire me

* * *

Before the death of my father
I seemed to be at a loose end
But when I discovered writing
My pen became my best friend

Words have made me stronger
I'm not the person I used to be
I find strength sharing my feelings
As my emotions run free

I've let you become a part
Of this life that I lead
As I write about my father
My heart continues to bleed

You've held my hand in grief
At the depths of my despair
You've been with me on this journey
I let my words take you there

You've seen my passion for love
As you've read my words in rhyme
You've seen my heart and soul
Within each and every line

You've seen the love within my heart
As I let my words unfurl
Another hopeless romantic
Pens her thoughts to the world

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

Sue, I started writing when my mom died, when I was ten.

I'm glad you found us and became part of the family here.

You have all encouraged and inspired me from day one and I am indebted to all of you.  Since I began writing back in February 2001, my life feels complete.  I feel privileged to know you all.

Take care.......Sue

The openly sharing of your inner feelings is one of the most special aspects of your writing, Sue.

~ and the more you reveal, the more of you there is to like!

Keep on writing, dear Poetess! You have many readers around the world who enjoy your poetic offerings!

Love & Light,
Linda
