Susan G. Phillips

is honored with a Brick from Gregory D. Phillips.

Listening to your story, I dried those impassioned tears of disappointments, heartbreaks, and childhood's many fears.
Everyone held their own beliefs of just what you should be.
While placating their self-interest, your soul could not be free.
Expressing their displeasure toward all you strove to do though never comprehending what their approval meant to you.
It is doubtful I can forgive such error on their part, a sin, an abomination to abuse a loving heart.
Do not worry or ever ask what I expect from you. Just do as you wish; for my love, to thine own self be true.
