CHERISH…
(Inspired by CJ Benjamin’s ‘Letter to my late dad’)
When I think of the image of you,
All that you are to me
And what’s in the wealth
of your character,
Like ripples of waves
As my thoughts roam
the corridors of my mind
I cherish the moments we’ve had…
No ordinary ponder,
When I listen to my heart
It’s such a wonder
this journey thru the depth of my soul
That I become overwhelmed
by a well of emotions appreciating
these dimensions of your being,
How I cherish the time…
The here and now
And if tomorrow ever comes
I know life is just a vapor
hanging on the balance of time,
There’s a part of you inside of me
that defies gravity
Like wings of the winds
It breathed new life
into every step that I take…
In light of reflections
now I cherish these moments
that are borrowed to my hands
Standing still when it feels
like I’m sailing to fly without wings
It’s all because of how you loved me,
Take no thing for granted
I cherish…

You built it from a surprise letter, the image is very attractive.
Thank you and yes I was inspired by a letter that I read which not only touched my heart, it simultaneously ignited my creativity. I love that rush
Powerful message I can so relate to Bradley. The pain of the loss of my Dad a year ago still is fresh. Thank you for these words.
Actually you must thank CJ Benjamin cos I wrote this poem for her after reading the letter she wrote to her late dad. You know me, I’m always poetic and musical so I asked her for her favourite song and with that I felt what she was feeling. This poem is the poetic interpretation of her moment in time. A moment that we all can relate to. The basis of this poem is her message to all of us. Thank you!
Oh my, this really takes us even more form knowing the backstory. Thank you for sharing her sadness, and I can also relate unfortunately.
There’s is also a positive plus side at the end that needs more attention
That´s excellent!! I love it! I love the quote as well as the photo. I don´t have to comment about the poem itself. It´s enough reading it! You cannot help but love it!!
Wow Elena!! your words are so full of passion. I am even more happy that you loved this piece. Thank you!!!
This is a tear-jerking poem. Love is indeed a gift to cherish. Just loved it!
Of course yes Jenna, I can actually picture you smiling with sentimental joy in your heart. Thank you!
So often we take precious things for granted, when we could be appreciating our good fortune…
Absolutely true Alex, it’s in hindsight of this acknowledgement that we find more meaning to life.
we can appreciate what we have now, no need to wait for hindsight and regret…
