The Poem<\/strong><\/p>\n

For the first time, the featured poem is not by Sue Michaud, but it is about her. Jay Arthur wrote this poem in memory of our friend. Sue\u00a0was a poet, artist and most especially, a singer. She had one of the most beautiful voices I\u2019ve ever heard. This poem captures her\u00a0\u00a0energy, love and amazing spirit. She is missed.<\/p>\n

Sue Michaud (Jan 25, 1962 – Nov. 12, 2013)<\/em><\/p>\n

The Picture<\/strong><\/p>\n

This composition is created from a number of photos taken at a music jam in our basement. Sue shared her musical gift with everyone and was never too proud to share the spotlight. Sue led me to the artist\u2019s path; painting, singing, creating. I think she’d be glad to know she still inspires my art today.<\/p>\n

Sue<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s cold inside<\/p>\n

now that you can\u2019t play<\/p>\n

It\u2019s cold inside<\/p>\n

my heart today<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I remember<\/p>\n

so many times<\/p>\n

how you wore me out<\/p>\n

with your grand plan<\/p>\n

Hope was eternal<\/p>\n

The one thing<\/p>\n

I couldn\u2019t understand<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

No matter<\/p>\n

how many times<\/p>\n

you were burnt<\/p>\n

No matter<\/p>\n

how many times<\/p>\n

they turned you aside<\/p>\n

No matter<\/p>\n

You just kept going<\/p>\n

and you put all of them<\/p>\n

into your ever expanding heart<\/p>\n

Goodness for all<\/p>\n

for Sue\u2019s sake.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Now that you are gone<\/p>\n

I just want a little more,<\/p>\n

of your energy.<\/p>\n

I crave a little more,<\/p>\n

of your smile.<\/p>\n

I need a little more,<\/p>\n

of your passion.<\/p>\n

I wish for just\u2026<\/p>\n
