At First

She gave me the love of the virgin 
Mary.
A love for her that will not tarry 
P.D. is a creature that I dare to claim 
Poet Destroyer a bold clever name 
I met her on the soup before I knew 
Her fame 
She hated me at first but one day 
she saw my pain 
She reached to me forgiving arms 
And gave to me her forgiving 
charms 
An act of which I'll never forget 
True forgiveness one rarely gets 
I shared my feelings with the world 
And they were noticed by a girl 
The pain of my misery reached her 
heart 
She set aside the differences that 
tore us apart 
I write this poem as a monument in 
my heart 
It's a dedication and not just art 
She touched my life in that certain 
way 
And her memory will always stay 
I may not think of her everyday 
But there are those moments that 
will never fade away 
But when she forgave my heart that 
day 
That's when she moved in and there 
she will stay

Situation, I am very touched by the poem. I remember that day, as if it was yesterday. Everything flew away, and existed no longer, once you felt I hurt too:-( I know we don't talk or communicate as much. But, you will always be in my heart, and in my thoughts. I smile every time I see you on the soup. This silent friendship has been the best ever... I was very sad when I heard about your father's passing then shortly April's passing, ((despite our differences)) I will always reach out to you. I care about you. I never expected to feel your pain from so far away. Thank you very much for the dedication. Maybe one day I will share the pain too. But, for right now I have to move on and store it all away. always~ LINDA
