My Mentor
September 18th, 2007 by Linda Jenkinson- You stood by me as I walked a road I had not walked.
- You cleared the path ahead of us whenever it was blocked.
- You are the breeze that follows the storm.
- You make the air seem fresh and new.
- You are the sun that pierces the clouds
- And dries the tear-splashed dew.
- You gave me the chance to read a page I hadn’t read.
- When I couldn’t comprehend, you offered me the pen instead.
- You traded laughter for my tears
- When my whole world fell apart.
- For this and so much more my friend,
- I’ll keep you in my heart.

This has so many levels and I enjoyed a number of different ones.
I don’t know where you are in terms of religion but on one level I could see this as being the thought process of one of the travellers on the Emmaus road on Easter Sunday.

Hi Keith. Actually the poem is a tribute to my husband. I don’t worship him, but I do adore him. Thanks for stopping by.
