It Didn't Take Long

It Didn't Take Long
     for ~LilacThOughts~

 

 

It didn't take long
for me to see
the love and grace in you
as I read pieces from your pen,
filled with love,
hope, caring
for the plights of others.

 

 

With pure elegance
you shine for those around you
with your heart on your sleeve,
how many tears
must you have shed.

 

 

Angelic,
a precious soul
sent to ease the pain
and suffering
of those who know
the worst grief.

 

 

How can it be denied
that you love powerfully,
your heart placed
before the world
and your hand surely unsteady
as you write of the agony of those forgotten.

 

 

It didn't take long
for me to see
that you are special
.

    Thank you Patricia...

    Dear Patricia...

    I'm at a loss for words, this beautiful poem, so eloquently penned has affected me, thank you so much

    My own grief is ongoing and I cry everyday, but always I hope that I will have others in my heart, to help if I can in any way when they need it from me...we all have our own storms to get through and it is made much easier when someone like you can reach out, as you have done to me here...this poem is so precious and is making my eyes smart right now, I am humbled by your kindness

    Much Love
    ~Lilac

      Dear Lilac, I understand what it's like to cry daily for others. It's quite a lovely way to cleanse the soul when your tears belong to another. You are a precious soul who has been blessed with an open and beautiful heart. Although I feel your pain with my own tears, I know they are unselfish. God bless you for opening yourself to others so selflessly. Hugs, Patricia

    This is a lovely tribute to this thoughtful and caring poet. I have had the pleasure of participating in one of her contests - she is a delight. Nicely written.

      Well, my stars are not working again, so I'll come back later to send them to you. Darn stars!!!

      Thank you, Margaret. I was very delighted to write this for one who seems so deserving. Everything I read of hers was for someone else, so loving and giving. I was proud to write for her. Hugs, Patricia
