Remember Me by Michael When flesh shall pass and footprints are no more upon the sandy ocean shores, remember me. Box the poems and store the art, for I was more than these. Your comforter, your closest friend, I taught you how to dream. I closely held you as you wept and calmed your fears. Through me, you learned that life’s a precious gift and hope prevails. When nights are laced in heavenly display, remember lessons that I taught. All feelings, no matter what they are, have value. Everyone is deserving of respect. There is no color to the human race, we’re all the same. I lit your candle with my own and smiled as I watched you glow. Always share your light with others and bring joy to their lives. Know that fear once conquered, is courage grown. Remember me, your father. and how I loved you so. Proust- |

These are the most valuable life lessons a Father could leave a child, and you certainly will have taught a child well! This was fantastic Michael, and so heartwarming. ~*~ I write ~ Therefore I am ~*~ |

Thinking of you, Chris....and praying for you!! Found this poem that your dad wrote for you...and thought...maybe...you would need a gentle "hug" from him [for I consider his poems and words hugs]. I am SURE that he is watching over you...as he told me that he would. NEVER stop believing that your dad loved you and even now...he misses you! When he and I would speak...he would talk about you...with smiles and laughter in his voice! [Oh, how I loved to hear him talk about you...your dad was some thing special. Not all dad's talk about their kids the way he did you.  ] You were his one true treasure...his love...and his life! Never stop believing that!Well, I just wanted you to know that I was thinking about you. And that you will have my prayers ALWAYS!!! God bless you now and FOREVER, Chris!! With love and hugs...Becka  |
