 Picture by Alan Ayers * * * Dearest Dad, I often wonder If you watch me from afar As I gaze towards the heavens I search for the brightest star Sometimes I don't show my feelings Behind a mask I hide my tears As I struggle to live without you Even after all these years To me, you were an inspiration You were my shelter from the storm How I miss your loving presence And your arms that kept me warm On more than one occasion I've cried myself to sleep at night I pen my thoughts about you To give others an insight My writing has been a blessing And so many friends I've made 'tho the pain won't go away Within my heart you are inlaid My life's moved on without you And my heart still bears the scars But I take comfort in the knowledge You are one of the brightest stars I am in motion |

Sue~ Your beautiful pieces written for your father, always cause tears to well within my eyes~ I know how tough it is to lose someone who meant so much in our lives ... and word-remembering them is a wonderful way to keep those memories soft and pliable ... never forgotten~ *Huglets* to you dear lady~  ~*Marge*~ ~*No matter what I search for ... |

Sue, It's nice to know you are still writing about or should I say to your dad. Peace If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |

Dear Sue: I guess our fathers always hold such a special place in our hearts. Mine has been gone many years, as he died young, but I still think about him and miss him, and wonder how he would like the person I've become! Beautiful poem! Love Betty Lou |

It's like you reached into my heart and mind and pulled out the words I've been trying to lock away. Thanks for showing me that although we may be worlds apart, our feelings are the same. |
