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 |

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.. |

(big hugggssssss) God Bless You, sweet friend, I know with all my heart your father is always watching over you everyday and your words not only touch him, they illuminate him and make him feel special because they are yours, written from you, his loving daughter's heart, that it is your love alone hugging him dear! (wipes tears) This is gorgeous, sweet friend, I send angel hugs of comfort your way, 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, 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. "Love makes the world go around" |

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 |
