Do you watch me as I write On these pages stained in tears Did you think I would forget you After so many wonderful years Do you watch me as I grieve And see my heart break in two Do you read the words I write About how much I still love you Please tell me what you're thinking Dad, have I made you proud Was that your image I just saw Behind that big white cloud Do you smile down upon me From heaven up above When the rain falls down on me Are you showering me with your love Are you that blackbird in my garden Who sings a sweet melodious song Are those your arms I feel around me Do you help me to be strong I see your image in so many things And remember your heart so warm and true How fond I am of my memories Of all the times I spent with you Pictures of you adorn my home Your image smiles at me each day You're still a big part of my life Within my heart you'll always stay I hope the words I write Reflect the love I have for you I hope others have formed an image From the words that they view Please don't leave me lonely Keep the candle burning bright 'tho life is sometimes out of focus You'll always be my guiding light Please keep me safe in your memory For once again there'll be us two In that place way over the rainbow Eternally united me and you Suetang |

 (tears fall down my cheeks) Oh Sue, my heart about broke reading this, sweet friend, you are a true angel as your dad is and while things may not feel the same, I know deep down with all my heart he is watching over you from up above, as his love is all around you, for I know he is the rain that always makes your garden lush and sparkling with life and every butterfly that kisses the flowers and every rainbow that encourages you with a smile to go on as his love is always in your heart! (BIG HUGGGSSSSSSSS) My thoughts are with you, sweet friend, I'm always here if you need someone to talk too, God Bless You, you have one of the most loving hearts in all the world, 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 "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

Sue: I think your Dad is watching over you and approves of who you are and what you do. Not only that, he's proud! My dad has been gone for many years, but I still feel that unbreakable tie to him and always will. I'm sure it's the same for you and your dad. Betty Lou Hebert |

Sue...I hope you will one day find the tender loving grace of your father's hand again, as I have, when he guides your every write, with loving embrace, as I feel mine does with me... I think they are Both Smiling On Us Now.... |

Sue, I know that he knows ... and deep in your heart you know, too. Just look at the wonderful words you weave for and about your father. Therein lie your answers  Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write. |

'...Please keep me safe in your memory For once again there'll be us two In that place way over the rainbow Eternally united me and you...' Gosh, I am positive that your Dad can see you and is with you every second of the day and night. It is just heartbreaking how much you miss him. He must have been a wonderful, loving man. I am envious, as I never had a good relationship with my Dad. Hugs, Marti " My wrinkles are badges of courage and reveal that I am a Mother." |

Sue, You know how I love your poetry about your father. I feel well qualified to identify many reasons for your dad to proud of how you live your life and express through poetry is influence on your life. he would be so proud. Trust me...there is no risk of any other response. You would make any father proud. I know. |

He lives within you, and in every rosebush in your garden, and in all your poetry. Beautifully written, Sue. |
