**To Jimmy** Though many years have passed Here we stand together, on this day Though I may have stumbled along the years Somehow I found my way Our lives have taken us to this point I'm glad I reached out to you Though it's been a hard journey indeed I guess through it all, I still was a part of you When you tell me that you always loved me I believe you, and your eyes of blue For when I look at you, I see me I see a man whose dream finally came true Though many may not understand And some would have a sharp word to say They are not who I am concerned with It's because of you that I will stay Time has worn on you hard But I still see kindness in your eyes And I realise now more than ever Never truly did we say good-bye I don't know what tomorrow holds However I do know; God brought us together For there are some bonds you can't break Fathers and daughters are forever "love is like a butterfly-- if you chase it, it will surely fly away,instead hold it close and watch it grow into something beautiful" ~me~ [This message has been edited by Aimster (11-23-2003 04:44 PM).] |

Amy~ I cannot tell you how deeply this touches me, and how heart aching this really is. I think too we are brought to certain points in life for reasons we may not be able to explain right now, but I feel will benefit us in the long run....this is such a wonderful release of healing, we all need to "purge" sometimes.....I know I still am....and will continue to do so. Hugs and much peace for this. I know where it “comes” from. You will continue to grow, and head down the path, which is right for you. ![]() Lauren~ I had a dream last night |

thank you all for these wonderful replies. this was a really hard poem for me to write, but one which brought me a great amount of release. I can't begin to even express the happiness I feel when each of you takes the time to respond to my work, I truly feel I have somewhere I belong. Thank you so much and God bless you all! Take care Amy ![]() "love is like a butterfly-- |

A very touching piece here. I really enjoyed it. There is always something special between a father and daughter. |

Oh yes Amy, Fathers are special, way up there with Mothers and this was a wonderfully sweet tribute to yours. I hope he sees it, where ever he is. Tony. ![]() |

Thanks again for all the wonderful replies...you all truly are the best friends a woman could ever ask for! **update** I have been seeing my bio father off and on for about two months now. While we still have much ground to cover, and emotions to go through,things for the most part are turning our rather well, beyond any of my expectations. I will be spending the day after Christmas with him. ![]() again so much! Happy Holidays, Amy ![]() "love is like a butterfly-- |
