The tree above your grave weeps with raindrops
Just as I weep tears for you
Three years have passed by so quickly
But your image is always in view

The changes in my life are many
Of myself I have much to give
I wonder what you'd have thought
If you had been able to live

You always encouraged and inspired me
For me there was nothing you wouldn't do
But the gift I'll always treasure
Was all the love that came from you

My feelings and deep emotions
Flow through my pen as I write
I have found another voice inside me
My writing has given me a new insight

I tell others how much I love you
How sad your passing was for me
But your death seemed so senseless
And sometimes I cannot see

I read your words of wisdom
And remember the times when you were well
But my grief so often defeats me
'tho I know in sadness I must not dwell

I try so hard to be strong
But I still feel the need to cry
You will always be in my heart
My love for you will never die

(tears fall down my cheeks) God Bless You, sweet Sue, my heart cries out to you, but I know deep down you have made your father the proudest he could ever be for you, for you have become the true angel of love that he always dreamed you'd be and I know his love shines in your heart, for you carry on strong with such compassion and heart to share! (BIG HUGGGSSSSSSS) My heart goes out to you, sweet friend, you will always be in my thoughts, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Sue, thank you for sharing!





May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

The life he had bore the fruit of your
self and gave you the gift of eternal
life after death through his memories
which you will have through all of
time remaining...and beyond!

Beautiful poem ...  very beautiful...

Sue: We never stop missing our loved ones, but it doesn't hurt quite so much as time passes.  Maybe your gift of poetry came from your Dad.  A parting gift.

Sue,
I guess I can't do that. I have found the depth of the well that supplies my tears. Yet I cry and would cry even more if I weren't spending from the well so often. I'm sorry friend for such a difficult loss. I love my dad so much, I can't imagine!

This is a beautiful tribute to your dad. My brother has been gone for about 20 years, now. And, I still tears come up in my eyes. No one (in my family) knows how much I miss my brother.

Beautiful, Sue!  We never stop needing our parents and it's a great blessing to have had parents who left us with beautiful memories and a sure knowledge of love.
