I have thought of so much I would tell you On a day that season’s light drifts on by Each day brings empty pages for mem’ries To share stories soaring high on wind sighs. Never forget dirt side roads and bare feet Sun rays dancing over blades of sweet grass Voices chat over chirps of birds in flight Clouds cast shadows over fields as they pass. Carry waves that push sand from the inlet Smell the kelp that has washed onto the shore Watch the eagles soar high with wind currents Let your mind carry these days from before. Hear the snow as it falls to tree branches Feel the fog as it drifts over high hills Watch the berries ripen with spring rain drops Days once boring become stories to thrill. Hold the hands of a family who love you Clasp the fingers that will never let go We are pieces formed from another day Sharing a past that forever will grow I have thought of so much I would tell you It is expressed in the poems you write Link to pasts that will forever linger And paint pictures in your dreams every night - Alison |

Alison, what a joy these letters are to the young you of the past. This one was especially joyful to read and to savour. When we are young, we take so much for granted. My Dad impressed upon me when I was a little girl, that I should not go through life with blinders on. I was to be observant of the world around me ~ and the world within me. You have grown into a very wise and observant young woman, dear Poetess! God bless you, my dear friend! Much love, Linda  |

Very beautiful that was. It let me drift away as I was reading it, getting a visual of how it must of felt to write it. |

Ruth, Sometimes I am a loss to express how deeply people's comments impact me. This is one of those times. I am grateful for your support, kindness and friendship. Love, Alison |
