Picture by Jim Warren

* * *

As I gaze towards the heavens
A ray of light breaks through
I wonder, could this be a signal
Coming through the clouds from you

I seek the stairway to heaven
For at the end you will be there
I try hard to live without you
But the pain is hard to bear

Within my heart there lays a hole
It's like a part of me has died
So many times I've felt alone
And I feel empty deep inside

There are many here who love me
And for them I must stay strong
But how I long to be with you
For that's where I belong

But I know now is not the time
For there is much for me to do
But not a single day goes by
When I don't stop and think of you

I pen my heartfelt words
Each and every day
To keep your memory alive
And my sadness at bay

As I struggle to keep composure
My heart begins to pine
And as the ink flows through my pen
My heart is seen in every line

The clouds start moving in
As this day comes to an end
Only when we're reunited
Will my heart truly mend

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

I believe, the more we pain over loss, the more we realize and know, that true blessing of love and all it's power, and maybe for us, just able to touch the surface, but we all know it's ability, and it's blessings.  

Hugs special lady...thank you for sharing.

The time will come soon enough m'friend.
In the meantime, live life to its fullest.
Which I am sure you do...
I have a feeling this may be about your departed father.
Heart hugs to you.
Love the pic!

Thank you all for the warmth and comfort your words have afforded me.  It's always nice to see my friends whenever I get the chance to return here.  Nancy, you are right.  This was written about my father and at the end of May it will mark the 6th anniversary of is death.  I become more emotional than usual at this time of year.

Thank you all for your heartfelt words.

Take care.......Sue

This is so touching, my heart goes out to you.  This was like reading my mothers thoughts since my father has passed.

A poignant, deeply felt write.

In sharing this...may your
pain ease.
And connection to your loved one (for we are never separate from those we love) deepen.

Time may heal your pain, but I'm not sure if it will take away that emptiness. Sometimes when you are unaware, it'll come back and hit you hard. Then you'll feel you really miss having him in your life...
