[hometext] => A poem about one of the few men i will never forget.I have had some great men in my family,all who have now passed away but I hope and pray that I don't let that pattern fade with me...
[bodytext] => You always brought me joy and hope
You always touched my heart like you did for everyone just by being who you are Few can find the warmth in others like the warmth i found in your embrace alot go through life without seeing the beauty that i saw apon your face A life of caring and love you offered to those around you... you kept on giving with me you gave me reason reason to keep on living When we used to go for walks unlike mine... your steps were slow and short Id have to slow down for you.. nearly all the time "Slow down boy!" youd say "Who do you think i am?.. Im old and frail yet wise my boy.. But im no Superman!" It used to make me laugh the first time i laughed so much i cried then slowed down for you with your arm locked in mine Occasionally you would stop and pause to gaze up at the stars looking so sad.. youd choose the brightest star and say it was my Dad You'd say he was looking down on me and that he and God had made a decision where they will soon be calling someone and that someone would be him You explained how God would look down on his beautiful garden with positions vacant and that you await your message that would soon be heaven sent You held my face in your wrinkled hands and told me not to weep for when somebody dies they are merely just asleep Peacefully.. Sometimes you wouldnt even know me and when i brought you your little hat You turned to one of the nurses asking "Who is that?" and even though at times i felt like crying because of the fact you couldnt remember I knew that the love we shared even if unknown to you right now would eventually shine in you forever. 10 - 09 - 02 [comments] => 2 [counter] => 264 [topic] => 38 [informant] => Demon [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 10 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Tributes )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
