To Me, You Will Always Be
(for CH, who lost Doc on 01/01/1999)
By Elizabeth Cutright

To me, you will always be…
running after rocks,
and chasing your own tail;
that goofy smile across your face,
pawing me in a muddy embrace.

To me, you will always be…
the one that was up for anything –
who made a game of it all.
Life was just one big adventure,
punctuated by lunch and dinner.

To me, you will always be…
the one I could depend on,
the ear that was always there.
Beside me when the world felt hostile –
you made anything seem possible.

To me, you will always be…
the one I’ll miss when the leaves are falling,
the one I’ll search for in the snow.
The summer sun will be cold without you,
but every spring your spirit’s home.

Sometimes my heart will feel empty
and I’ll listen for your voice,
I won’t be saddened by your absence
because I know your soul is free.
To me…you will always Be.

What is "The Daily Creative Writer?” It's a blog and a twitter feed focused on providing inspiration and structure to writers and anyone wanting to add a little more creativity into their lives. So many of us want to write - to make a living, to explore our creative side, or because we simply must put words on a page - but don't know where or how to begin. The first step is always the hardest, but it’s all about momentum. Focus on the journey of writing, not the destination. What you discover might surprise you – writing balances your life and opens you up to experiences that are more authentic, with endless amounts of creativity and inspiration. So let's get started - it's really not that hard. As Hemingway famously said, "There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed..." Tap that vein and let it flow.
