because I love you……….
I will remind you
of the ways I have held you
and nights
I spoke your name
a gift from God
your beauty –
spirit flame
beckoned as a nightbird
black against the sky
given life
– was breath
before you knew
forgiveness
found a way to be
the story starting now
when all seemed lost
He offered life
to you
asking not
the ways we came
or why the door ajar
of pieces scattered
broken (let me go)
but only this
the answer be
that we as love must trust
words that once
were written
to our soul
Author’s Note: This was written for my nephew – my light, my inspiration,
my soulmate – because I can – because I do.

’tis a beautiful thing ye’ve written, darlin’ girl. Wouldn’t ye know that yer words ring high across the mountain ridges and echo sweetly down th’ vale to bring the dew of th’ morn to th old man’s eyes. …wouldn’t this be a wonderful piece of writin’ lass…, wouldn’t it now? ~~Himself

It is indeed one of your most beautiful songs! Your words fill a heart with such joy! You are at your very best when you write poems for those whom you love! Your embracing words shine ever so brightly Bobbie! I am so very happy to have loved the likes of you in my life my dear sister! You make the sun rise each day with a smile! God bless and have a wonderful thanksgiving holiday! In the next two days I will have a new blog site on wordpress, i will let you know!
I shall look forward to it, Wendell………but even now, the words I know by heart (the sound of your voice) sit with me the same as they have for eternities. I am blessed to know and love you. I pray that you, your wife and your daughter are blessed by a Thanksgiving filled with laughter, love, and reasons (more and more) to be grateful. My sister told me about a lesson her Sunday School teacher gave the class – what if today you woke and all you had was what you were thankful for yesterday? Let us be grateful! Let us be RICH! Love to you and yours, my friend. ~ Always, Bobbie
