(This is for our dearest friend Sue, who is by among the most compassionate people I have ever known and who I am so lucky to have as a true friend forever in my heart and so very lucky she found her way here to share her golden heart with us all! God Bless You! ) The Garden In Her Heart By: Noah Eaton 9/17/02 She stands out in her heavenly garden, extending a hand of friendship Planting gladiolas and poor man's orchids Lining her prized blessings with tulips Sprinkling their buds with jasmine Her loving father, a carpenter of love, brought her here Her true angel helping her find her voice Now up above, but always guiding her with love Singing like the songbird of inspiration in her tears and joys Now she sings on with the spirit of her father Two angels passing on the halo of poetic compassion Knowing he will always love her, be so proud of her Where she follows his word, spreading his gifted magic Working at a hotel receptionist during the day She brings comfort to everyone she meets Speaking touching stories that always make me cry And romantic passion that makes me sigh and daydream Her faith soars like sunset swans, with a special smile Like a scene from Charlotte's Web she weaves innocent beauty Spring blooms in her footsteps across these pages Coming to be the loving angel her dad knew she'd be She is our angel, which her dad named Sue Carrying on a legacy of golden compassion and purity so rare and heavenly... Making me cry always, lucky to know such this angel Soaring with words of passion and hugs from down under dearly... "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..."

Sue is VERRRRRRY cool people. I love her gentle style of writing, and her unique phrasing. If anybody is due a tribute, it would be her, and you painted a life-story in it as well! Astonishing acute observations written with your wondrous poetic grace! jeff |

My dear Noah You have caught me completely offguard and for me to say that I am overwhelmed is truly an understatement. As I type, the tears are flowing so freely still and I have no idea how I can ever repay your kind gesture. You are a rare and precious jewel in the crown here at PIP and your friendship, warmth and compassion mean so very much to me. At the moment my words don't seem enough to express how you have made me feel but I will leave you with a couple of quotes that most certainly apply to you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Noah. A fire gives warmth and light and likewise a friend When I see him I feel the joy deep inside me like a pilgrim who is lost and finds the right way at last * * * Like the shade of a great tree in the noonday heat is a friend Like the home port with your country's flag flying after a long journey is a friend A friend is an impregnable citadel of refuge in the strife of existence * * * We drop like pebbles into the ponds of each other's souls * * * Take care my friend Love Sue I am in motion |

Well, I must say this, that I have felt a great deal of affection for her, just through her poetry and kind and thoughtful replies---but with this tribute to her, I feel like I know her---and to know her is to like her even more! Noah, dear Angel heart, not only is this a kind and generous gesture to one of PIP's finest poetesses, this poem was very well written and a testament to your own phenomenal talent! ~ May the sun shine down softly upon your faces and may the breeze of good fortune blow gently at your backs! ~ Earth Angel |
