OneCrazyLady's blog: "LIFE"

Dear Daddy, I can't believe that it's been a whole year since you were taken from us so suddenly. I think of you everyday and wish that I could spend just 'One More Day' with you. To be able to hear your kind and gentle voice, giving me word of advice and 'Pearls of Wisdom'. To listen to your silly jokes, that only YOU! could tell. To be able to sit with you at your Piano, listening to you play all those Old Love Songs that you played so well. How I wish I could do those things just once more. You always had a smile on your face and a "HELLO" for everyone you met. You never said an unkind word about anyone. You respected everyone you met, no matter who they were. How I wish there were more people in this world like you! If, there were, then this world would be a much better place! Even on the cloudiest of days, the Sun always Shone when you were around, because of your sweet smile and gentle nature. I could not have asked for a more loving and kind Father and I am so grateful that I got to spend so many wonderful years with you. You taught me so many things, but the most important thing you taught me was to respect everyone I meet. You always had time for us. Whether it was playing Ball, Hiking, Riding Bikes, Swimming or going on one of our many wonderful Vacations. No matter how busy you were, you always made time for all of us. We came first in your life, and for that I will be forever grateful! I miss you more than words can say. There is an emptiness that I feel, deep in my heart, and I know it will never go away! It may get easier over time, but the emptiness will always be there! Thank you for being the Kindest Man I have ever known and thank you for being my Father. I love you so much and wish you were still here, but I know that I will see you again, someday! With all my Love, Your Loving Daughter 12/31/07

I used to write Poetry all the time, but haven't written anything lately...I have to be inspired to write...This is a piece by me, written in 1997...Hope ya like it :) ~*~ IMAGINATION ~*~ I hear the sounds of hooves beating as the waves come crashing in, I hear the sound of thunder roaring as the white caps slap against the rocks; I hear the sound of laughter in the rustling of the leaves, I hear the sound of hearts beating as the eagle flaps its wings, I hear the sound of Angels whispering as the wind blows through the trees, All this I hear and more, as I let my imagination run wild with me. I see a thousand candles glowing as the lightning strikes across the mid-night sky; I see the tears of a million children crying as the rain falls from the heavens I see tiny fairies dancing playfully as the stars twinkle in the night. I see the face of God as the sun shines its warm rays upon the Earth, All this I see and more as I let my imagination run wild with me. In my heart there is a world of wonder, a world that only my imagination knows. When I close my eyes to sleep, I dream of things only my minds eyes sees. My dreams are of things that Man will probably never know... My minds eyes are filled with sights and sounds that Man may never hear or see. To hear the sounds of rushing waters against the rocky shores, To see the dancing stars at night, Man must let his feelings soar. To the highest height that his soul can reach and even farther than he knows, To let his imagination take hold of him and let him fly like a Hawk, To let all of the universe come together as one in harmony of understanding. Then listen to the sounds that Freedom makes and let your imagination run FREE!
