 Picture by Josephine Wall * * * I'm sending a letter to heaven And I've sealed it with a kiss I've addressed it to my father Whose presence I still miss I tell him how much I love him And how I miss him every day How I follow his guiding light And in my heart is where he'll stay He was too good for our world And was needed up above He now flies high with the angels And showers me with love I know he's saving a place for me For one day I'll join him there But for now I'll pen my love And show the world how much I care I am in motion I am blue Love is an ocean I'm anchored in you - Shawn Mullins [This message has been edited by Suetang (11-02-2002 04:56 PM).] |

 (big hugggsssssss) God Bless You, sweet friend, I know your dad thinks of you everyday and will always love you so much and be proud of you, her little angel, and when the time is right you will join him again and you can read all these beautiful words to him! (sigh) You are an angel to us all, sweet friend, 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, Every word you write was carried by an angel from your Dad and then the entire poem is taken back to him to read. And he is so darn proud of you. This was so touching ... hugs, Marti |

Sue, How hard indeed to give up our dads! And excellent write with such loving thoughts. Peace dear friend. Peace. If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |

Very touching poem. My dad passed away in 1983 so I can relate to your poem very well. The picture is also outstanding. Deb |

Everyone misses a family member.. But, just think of where they're at, and no one can hurt them. I wish to become a great poet some day, but it will only come in time. Til then, I shall write my poems, and wait. |

Hi Sue, this poem portrays what a loving heart you hold for your beloved father. I believe he must have been a truly special person, dad and even friend to you. Lovely, keep writing for he inspires! |

I am truly overwhelmed by the amount of responses to this poem which is so very close to my heart. This is for all of you : "The friends who listen to us are the ones we move toward and we want to sit in their radius. When we are listened to, it creates us, it makes us unfold and expand." "When the willow bends at the first hint of troubled breezes, our friends come running to see how they can help. Sometimes friends know when they are needed even before we realise it ourselves, because we are accustomed to letting them in on the happenings of our lives." Thank you all from the bottom of my heart. Take care Love Sue I am in motion |

Sue darling heart and painter of a soul’s inner beauty once more your writing is simply stunning. Your ability to speak with words dipped in poet’s translucent thought is so beautifully displayed here. Always you uncover the thought, and shading it in the perfect hue you frame it and then hang it high for us all to see. This is utterly utterly lovely, one of your utter best I think, your heart shows within this The light that shines from within you Anoints my soul with poet’s dew The softness of your wordy grace Leaves the lightest hint, just a trace Of the you that’s spun in this The line that gives a poetic kiss Thoughts written of now and when Inscribed by your poet’s pen Now paint the sky with rainbow hue And let me see what else you do Light the sky and lighten the night With your words of sweet delight Like the wave that seeks the shore My eyes look for your light evermore Truly superb writing, you know that your writing fills me with awe, always your writing is awesome, and this is utterly utterly perfect. Thank you for sending it to me  Love and warm stuff As always Mushy Breathe through the heat of our desire |

Sue time has gone by so quickly since his passing, but it seems your love for him has not changed one tiny bit. I was just thinking of your Dad last Friday when I was at a senior's wood working shop, and actually was thinking of you both. Beautiful tribute to Dad and I am sure he is not only proud of you but watches over you. |
