the man who loved the sea
always filled with passion for life
this was the man who loved me
now he is in heaven and no longer in pain
but when he was alive he never complained
my man was genuine and very kind
always thought about others to bring them peace of mind
he gave to so many from his heart
he gave them wings for their dreams and a start
he was so simple not fancy or flash
all he wanted was to bring joy to so many
he was the giver to so many
i now live with my memories and they keep me company
at my time of grieving and pain
i miss him and i wish i could talk to him again
he was very patient and wise
always had a sparkle in his eyes
he was a man that came from simple means
then he blossomed and created his dream
they all came true
family,friends and lots of adventures too
he left behind a legacy and was never boastful
my man who loved the sea
he will always be a part of me.......

it reminds my of my wife's father. he was a sailor who passed away several years ago--1 week before we got married, in fact.

May you always celebrate the gifts he left you with so you could live a life larger than big and share the heart that is so large inside of you. For in the end, after the grief has dried the last tear and blown away like dandelion seeds on a vagrant wind, you have the more than just the memories. You have a reflection in your heart of how big you became from all the love he showered you with. Now, you can live as big as you can knowing he would want you to soar every chance you get and shower the universe with the smiles that flutter and flap for freedom in the heart. He will always be waiting for the last dance the one you waltz with him across the face of the sun.
Love,
Tom B.
