YOUR PHOTOGRAPH

 
 Your photograph means so much to meYour eyes,your smile, that angelic lookOh I long to still be with thee
A special one, forever a part of me
 Your photograph, how much it means to meThe picture, the memories, how I long for thee
Your face, your smile,  memories of love
A star shines down from the heavens above
You're spirits here, it walks with me
I miss you so much, my cousin is sheFor you and your pictures of days gone past
All those sweet memories, forever will last.

Your love I carry with me all the time
How I long to hear your voice againSwept away that cold February dayOh how I miss you so much in every way

Your photograph means so much to me
How I miss you my cousin, I know you see
No one will ever be quite as beautiful as you
Your  photograph speaks,  forever I love you....
 To my cousin Cathymms 2.19.10

Yes she is

This cousin was like a sister to me in so many ways it killed me to see her go. She took care of me on bed rest, she was there for me all the way all through my young days and she will always remain a big part of me forever until we rejoice again together she awaits. Thank you hunter Love, magics02 "Determination Brings Success"

Such a lovely tribute and I feel sure your cousin hears

Ann of Norway Such a lovely tribute and I feel sure your cousin hears your voice when you read it aloud to the air, she is there with you, become a part of the air you breathe while you think of her, part of you in your everyday, as inside you you have this love, that is something that once there, is there, and never leaves you, your own expression of life, its core, its heart beat, its meaning. Love from me to you Anna XO

I can relate to this

I can relate to this totally. When I look at all the pictures of loved ones...even my pets, that have passed on, my stomach fills with flutters of despair and I feel them with me in the eyes of the picture...so life-like...pictures of them still make me cry...sometimes I have to hide their pictures from my eyes.

Thank you Stu!

That was such a nice compliment and sometimes I also read a poem and I feel that it is me writing it too. I wonder what that is. This particular poem I wrote for my cousin who I lost in 1995, her photographs sit right beside me at my office desk and I was inspired to write of her this way. She was a beautiful young lady lost her life to cancer and oh how I lost something so dear to me that day that no one can replace. Nicest woman ever and thank you Stu again for commenting on this poem. I will chat with you soon my friend Love magics02 "Determination Brings Success"

Dear Mona

Lovely write for your cousin ... thought the lines being out of sync with each other stilted the read ... just a suggestion because a tidy ?? and I think this one would read much smoother ... and like I said just a suggestion some people like the scattered look and effect it gives will keep my eye out for spoken word from you I love hearing how everyone sounds its a music teacher thing lol ... hmmm made me remember I did another spoken word and didnt submit it lol Kind regards Jayne-Chloe

I tinkered with it a little bit let me know how it reads now any better, I know sometimes I go back to the ones I wrote earlier and then tweak it tweak it until I get it just right to leave it that way, but I love to hear views from others also, so thank you for visit.
