To My Guardian Poet Ii

There is not a poem that you fail to read Or time that I’m away you don’t ask, “Why”? There is not a time when you don’t plant a seed Of joy into my heart when tears I cry You’ve helped me to believe in what I give Seen beauty in the silly lines I rhyme You’ve helped me want a better life to live And shown me Godly love time after time You will not leave my writes without a thought Oh what things need to change for smoother flow A friendship true like yours cannot be bought You’ve helped my heart to breathe, expand, and grow A Guardian poet you have been to me Accept my thanks and loyal constancy Jade (Eileen to you, Richard Lamoureux) This is my second poem by this title. Richard Lamoureux has been a constant friend, mentor, and guide. I so appreciate his integrity, honesty, and spirituality. He's encouraged me over the years I've been here.....to keep writing, to enter contests...and to believe in my self-worth, a precious gift. When I'm gone...he'll visit my older writes and leave a note. :) I've gained so much by reading his book- Dummy: Hurtful and Healing words which is so full of precious insights on the power of words to heal or destroy. Well I know this power. Well have I suffered because of it. People come and go...It's good to know some are there for the long haul. Some are there simply because they care...nothing more...nothing less. Thanks, Richard.
