This is for you
Mrs. Robin trots up the driveway
Holding a piece of straw in her mouth
I watch her out my window
Thinking of you

And I hear the trucks
The early morning bravado on the highway
Listening out my window
Thinking of you

I squint and look up at the impossible clouds
Rolling in the darkness
Looking out my little window, small in the scheme of things
Thinking of you

I smell the breeze
The summer night, warmth against my face
As I ponder, out my window
Thinking of you

You know...I'm no poet at all (obviously), but I write them from my heart to someone.

4. God, thank you....
I always fear that people make fun of my "poems".

But you know what?

I don't care...they are from my heart so they can't be all bad.

Thanks Bullwinkle :hug:

6. Not only are you ok....
but you are wonderful.

Be happy in your own skin.

Hold your head up and smile.

Because YOU know what you are made of, YOU, know what you have been through.

Be the best you can....for YOU.

8. You have ALWAYS...
been kind to me, and that makes you "wonderful".

You have been through some stuff...rise and fall with your grief. When you come to terms with it, you will feel emboldened.
