The Gift of You

Memories tap us on the shoulder
Arriving on the winds of time
Pictures extrapolate our full attention
For a brief moment we become them

Brought to life by that captured second
I absorbed the essence of you.
Love empowers dreams to come true
I breathed the gentle breeze of your love.

We are every age we've ever been
Our past becomes our history
At that age so long ago
You became the constant I needed

I am free because you opened doors
I know acceptance because you validated
Love is no longer a faceless stranger
You are the hero in the cinema of my memories

A beautiful poem:

I am free because you opened doors
I know acceptance because you validated
Love is no longer a faceless stranger
You are the hero in the cinema of my memories


Thank you for sharing! Our world needs step-dads like yours! It is amazing when one life touches another; your step-dad was blessed by having a gratful child and your life blessed by having a wonderful dad. My respect to you both! handshake bouquet
