Learned Traits

he wore
a shirt
of clean white
pressed
that’s the way
he always
dressed
and the smell
to this very day
I still think
nice
the comforting
scent of
old spice
all shoes
he had were
always with
shine
done by another
never with
his own
time
his face
was always
the same
as his
shoes
no difference
in sad or happy
news
bred in me
such good and bad
traits
he was
the first man
I learned
to love
and hate

(sigh) Wow, this is sooooooo powerfully heartfelt, sweet friend, I too know just how you feel and I believe if there are a few things you hate about a person, it is best to try and face them and earn their respect and forgiveness in the long run, and if its re-occurring, then we can't have the heart to forgive! (kiss on cheek) We all love you so much, sweet friend, this is very powerful! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Helen, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
