Your Spirit Lives On I remember the day I met you The contempt I had in my heart The other woman in my eyes I closed you out from the start I no interest in this new “family” Pain controlling my emotion I was expected to accept you But I could only deny the notion As the many years passed us by I slowly opened my life to you Discovering who you really were Not the person I thought I knew To my surprise, we got along Talking about so many different things I began to learn to respect you Making memories worth keeping. Just as I was getting to know you You were taken from our lives I couldn’t believe you were gone Pain in my heart like a thousand knives I think of all the time that I wasted And I hope you know how much I cared You spirit will always live on Through all the memories that we shared. |

This is a poem dedicated to my step mother. She passed away two years ago just as we started to form a strong relationship. I regret the time I spent turning her away, but I know she knows I loved her. |

...well it sure deserved the bump, rp. what a strong piece of work. I'm sure we can all relate to the wasted time... At least you know she knew, and that's what matters the most, right? cheers to you, Tony  - time grabs you by the wrist directs you where to go so make the best of this test and don't ask why it's not a question but a lesson learned in time |

Zion - Yes she always was. I just didn't realize at the time. She was a saint to put with me the way she did when I was younger...~chuckles~ I didn't make it easy. I'm glad you liked the poem |

I am sure she knew and the fact that you were able to make some memories you cherish will forever be your grace. Wonderful write. |
