As most of you know, my father is
the reason behind the words I write
and my love for him will never fade.

* * * *

I often think about you
As I go about my day
My memories are hidden treasures
Deep inside is where they lay

I remember with much fondness
How you were so sincere and kind
Those images are everlasting
Forever stored here in my mind

You had a passion for photography
Through the lens so much you'd see
That same passion you instilled
And it is now a part of me

I learned much from your experience
As you surrounded me with love
So many times I wonder
If you view me from above

Through the power of my pen
I tell my friends how close we were
I write so proudly about you
As fond memories begin to stir

'tho my life has changed direction
Your face remains so very clear
And on the days I lose my way
How I wish that you were here

I am in motion
I am blue
Love is an ocean
I'm anchored in you
- Shawn Mullins

Very Touching words.
I imagine if he could speak to you he might say something like this.
Forever linked together by love
As I watch over you thru my camera lense from above

Sue, beautifully said. I understand, for me it was my Grandpa, who passed way back in 89, and my Gram, just this year. It is hard to imagine life without them in it.
