I never knew how much I loved you
Until the day you passed away
But your love lives on inside me
And I think of you each day

So many of your interests
Have now become a part of me
One of my passions is photography
Through the lens so much I see

I feel compassion for other people
And believe I have so much to give
I help those who are less fortunate
Of my life there's much to live

A gift of self is priceless
For we need love to see us through
A kind and thoughtful gesture
Is what I'd like to offer you

If my words have touched your heart
Or have caused your face to smile
Then my words are not in vain
And my reward is so worthwhile


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

Not a moment of thought to the contrary Sue.
Your words are a gift to us and yourself,
because you do bring to my face a smile and
a warm feeling...thank you..

Sue, this is really an emotional poem. I enjoyed it as I do all of your work.
If this is about your Dad, I feel that he know's the happy feelings you ar having concerning his memory. Not the sad feelings, though.
Thanks, Sue, for sharing your heart with us in this wonderful poem.

Sue, this is such a touching and emotional poem. Hon, you have a heart as big as the Outback and I just love to read your poems. No matter what you write about, they always seem to stike a cord with me.

' ... I feel compassion for other people
And believe I have so much to give
I help those who are less fortunate
Of my life there's much to live ...'

And this stanza is why I was drawn to you when I first came to Passions. You are such a caring and loving person. Your Dad must be shining like the stars with pride.

Hugs my friend, Marti
