if only I could touch the stars
if only I could see your face
if only I could hear your voice beside me
my heart would not hurt so.
if only I could travel through time
if only I could fly through the sky
if only I could be there in the blink of an eye
my heart would not hurt me so.
but if only I had never had you
if only you were not part of my life
if only I had not seen you grow
my life would have no meaning
you are my sunshine and my rain
my sorrow and my greatest joy
my inspiration to be
and my hope to go on.
you are my greatest achievement
my most spectacular creation
my warmth, my laughter, my smiles
you are everything I aspire to be worthy of.
I miss you, no doubt
I think of you constantly, each day, each hour
you are filled with promise and future
and I never regret a moment I have had with you.
But in truth I do... regret harsh words and anger
In truth I cannot take back some things I have said
But you in truth, I know you will learn
From my mistakes in raising you.
Because in truth, you are my everything.
My every day.
My every wonder.
My darling loves...all three of you.

Stevie - thank you so much for the call! It was so lovely to actually hear your voice. I love Canadian accents - they have a soft quality to them. I hope I didn't hurt your ears too much with my Australian vowels. I never think they're very noticeable, but then I wouldn't, would I? It was great catching up with your news first hand, anyway.
The poenm in your post is so wonderful, and has a palpable ache to it. I feel I know exactly where it's coming from, even though I haven't experienced the separation you endure. There is so much here I can feel too.
Oh, and I loved your Kotton visit post! All I have is a rather aloof cat. I feel so inadequate.
Take care Stevie, and enjoy the wedding and night off!
A poenm, incidentally, is far superior to your average verse. Just so you know.
Margie, I thought your accent was lovely! I tend to think Canadians have a harder sounding accent! Funny eh? It wonderful to actually talk to you as well!
And thank you for your comments about my poem... I was missing my boys a great deal, and my girl as well. Both of them really, my Arly and my dear Hayleybug.

Lovely, tear catching poem Stevie. I feel the heart wrenching loss you feel not to have them with you, but never fear, they will come and see you out before you know it. I spent nearly ten years separated from Mo with the exception of the occasional holiday...now look where she is ;-)
