I would like to see the sun again So, I can slowly remember when Your kindness lit up the room Instead of wet, black trees of gloom The rain has drenched the forest Stolen the sunset from the west Now, it must begin to dry So, that I can remember why You sang to me, songs of sunshine Captivating me, in a rainbows line Of colors and coins to hold onto Afghans to keep me warm through The cold days, like the dark black trees You were the sunshine to me, my sanctuary Heidi Sands 8/5/17 *Placed 2nd in Contest: Form S contest/Theme Sanctuary

Delightfully sweet, Heidi. Loved the line about the afghans to keep warm. That's what love does...care for the loved one. Good luck in the contest.

Just beautiful. My Daddy's birthday was yesterday (yes, that's what I still call him). I remember his singing Irish songs with a beautiful tenor voice. Your poem fits a father's love as well as others.
