I wondered what made the lasting impression
What you did?
Who you were?
The sum of all parts I know.
In my eye I saw
Compassion, dedication,
The impish fun just of knowing you
Your love in each word you spoke.
Lasting always within me is
Delighting in everything I see.

awwww. another piece that can melt a woman’s heart, michael!
I image you melt more hearts with your poetry, than you bring to tears. Off to open a new box of Kleenex. You’ll have to assemble these word pieces into a book of loving poems.
I agree with Phylor completely!!
Thank you…
Most welcome 🙂
Beautiful and sweet! ❤
Thank you maria
You’re most welcome. 🙂
This is a great poem.
The following comment is from my child-bride Suzanne. She is having technical difficulties with Word Press at the moment. It lets her comment on some blogs but not all of them.
This is a nice poem and sweet.
I think that putting this challenge’s posts into a book would be a great idea for Michael and maybe all of us.
Have a blessed day.
Thank you David, I’m glad you have proved to be one of life’s stayers in still being blissfully married to your child bride, oh to have been so lucky….
Thank you as well,.
Please pardon the double up on my comment here, Michael. I am testing to see if the problem is fixed.
This is a nice poem and sweet.

All good Suzanne and you and David have solved the problem of who this “David” was who was commenting on my poems…..
I’m glad we solved a mystery for you. WordPress is keeping me confused these days. It doesn’t show my name the same each time I post. Sometimes it is celticmama36 and sometimes it is my legal name. I don’t know what’s up with that, but hopefully they will work it out. Have a blessed day.
Thanks Suzanne you guys have a great weekend..
Thanks. You have a great weekend, too.
I believe I’ve suggested many times, Michael, that you gather up your beautiful poems, and put them into a book; with the comments you’ve gotten here, it would appear I’ve got lots of company. 😀 There are a lot more people out there than just us cyberspace folk who would enjoy them!
“I agree with Mandy, et. al. It could be illustrated with photographs, the beautiful calligraphy created for this challenge, drawings, or just be your beautiful, wonderful, words on the page,” she added to the list of cheerers on.
