My Love Poem for you All
By Faye Ellen Kufahl. Grateful woman. September 15, 2008
I seem to hold you in my heart
One by one I bring you out
I search each face I hold so dear
Knowing your body is not near
I look into eyes I know so well
Feel your path as though my own
Remember conversations sweet
And times before when we did meet
I think about troubles you have had
Hardships that have made you sad
One by one I bring you out
I comfort you with open thoughts
Dear friends and family old and new
How dear you are I wish you knew
How much each love means to me
I am so grateful for each face I see
Each one of you I love so much
Each one of you I place my trust
Each one of you I hold so dear
One by one I bring you out
