The following poem is loosely structured along the lines of Trees by Joyce Kilmer


          To Sunshine


I love to read your poetry.
Your graceful verse inspires me

To greater heights of healing hope,
Your words encourage me to cope;

To brighter thoughts in worried times,
I am encouraged by your rhymes.

I try to emulate your style,
The writing habits you compile.

Your poems show me how it’s done
You’ve taught me more than anyone.

So gratefully, I pen this verse,
To live the joy that you endorse.

Cool! Mission accomplished. You reflected both your concept and Sunshine in one fell swoop. Bravo. And I concur.

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

I wish the poets could hear you read this, my friend.  You truly caught Kilmer's voice.

I'm sorry it's taken me so long to respond to this lovely...my home computer took a nosedive.  Keep your fingers crossed that we will be able to retrieve everything.

Perfect timing to bring this back. Better than ever.
