This is a picture of me and my daughter Mariah walking the paths of a barrier island near our home. Mariah is a wonderful poet here at Author's Den too and I am very proud of her.

I love you Mariah.

Poem Artwork

I tried to count my blessings


 Just a few minutes before


 Today was such a tragedy


 I just couldn't ignore


 The reasons that we love


The chances that we get


 The moments when we hold so dear


The hearts we won't forget


The way the world keeps turning


Disasters that can take


 Away the ones we hold so dear


In seconds of their wake


Oklahoma bombings


We never will forget


 Trade Towers standing tall


Next minute GONE...and yet


 We Americans persevere


We're brave and still stand tall


Love outweighs the hatred


 Faith lives and after all


Love comes above all of these


 It's in our hearts...our creed


 Tell someone you love them


Its important...plant the seed


 Americans are about the love


 With hearts that beat so true


Tell the world you love them


For me and them and you


 Don't waste another minute


Another second take


Tell someone you love them


Before it is too late.


 


Please....SKR*

Susan, I love the poem. There is so much to heed in your words. Three beautiful words that make all the difference in the world. We often tend to realize this when it is too late. I never got to tell my father until it was too late. I only hope he knew.

Susan, this is Wonderful!!

Love comes above all of these
Its in our hearts...our creed
Tell someone you love them
Its important...plant the seed
Americans are about the love
The hearts that beat so true
Tell the world you love them
For me and them and you
Don't waste another minute
Another second take
Tell someone you love them
