I hear the echoes of yesterday where once upon a time as children our laughter filled the air. We frolicked in golden rays of sunshine as the scent of lilac clung to gentle breezes blowing by. There were days of youth sheltered by a loving father who stood close enough to guide us with care and wisdom, all the while giving us room to grow into adulthood. These were the days filled with friends and fun, before learning the inevitable fact that life can not only give, but can take as well. There were days of sadness spent from not knowing the mother that seemed to still somehow pass her love into our hearts, as there were times of fears and loneliness from love gone wrong to withstanding life's trials. Tears of joy flowed the day my child was born, the first time those little blue eyes looked into mine and I knew that I was indeed needed. Tears of sadness flowed the day we lost the man who had meant so very much to us all of our lives. There are days with you that fill my life with love, and my heart with a warmth that comes from the light that burns deep in my soul for you. There are memories, to numerous to count... to important to be forgotten... Within each and every memory... I hear the echoes of yesterday. (If you want to know a poet, read their words. This is just a small glimpse into this simple poets life. *s*) On the wings of words our spirits fly....and our souls are free. ~Me~ [This message has been edited by Gentle Spirit (edited 04-25-2001).] |

And lovely echoes they are. Live for love. Without love, you don't live. |

SG, those of us who loved him and knew him will always cherish him and all he did as he raised us from such small children. and I know that you will never forget that day, or the day April was born either. Hugs to you sweetie. Luv, me. On the wings of words our spirits fly....and our souls are free. |

Mysteria, it was something I had contemplated on doing for quite some time. I just wasn't sure how to get it into rhyme, and said to myself, the heck with rhyme. He truly was an amazing man, he gave so much to us three girls, raising us on his own. That is why he truly is "our greatest hero" I wrote that the night of his passing, and it hangs in each of us girls homes now. Thank you, and God Bless.
