On January 9, 2011 at 11:43pm Dad, John D. Poore, Sr., ascended into God’s Kingdom. I am so grateful his departure was peaceful, a bittersweet moment but now he is with my lovely mother who passed away over 20 years ago, June 12, 1989. I thank God for loving parents and their love will forever warm my heart. I will always remember that both of my parents didn’t want to leave their kids alone in the world until we kids assured them we would stick together. Their love for us continues to live on and I thank God because this is the nectar that makes Dad’s bittersweet departure palatable.
My parents were there for Robert and I as we launched FILMLOOK Inc. in 1989. My brother John D. Poore, Jr. was also supportive of FILMLOOK Inc.’s beginning and he continues to believe in our journey.
I’ve put together a few of my most favorite pictures of Dad’s life. It was hard to pick a few of the photos from among so many pictures. Dad made sure he captured every moment he cherished with his family, so it wasn’t easy to select a few photos. I’ve also attached the song, Ave Maria, was my Dad’s song for my mother. My mother’s name was Brijida (Bridget) Maria, but Maria was what she went by because Brijida was too hard for many people to pronounce.
Deep…
Deep… within the passages of my soul I wander
Fear seeps in as I search to make sense of all the
embroilment within
Help…
Help…I need the Light to scintillate away the fear
The Light will reveal the truths of each memory,
whether it brought tears or laughter
Release…
Release… all that weighs the soul
Create…
Create the gallows of my soul into a library of my
soul’s growth
Transformed from a soul with no hope… to a soul with
a silver lining

Sitting in my loneliness and sorrow… I see the world with eyes of gloom
Many people pass by
Some not even feeling any compassion
Some feeling compassion… yet reluctant to show commiseration
Some stopping to give words of solace to alleviate themselves of guilt
Suddenly I feel a presence… yet I see no one
I hear a voice,
“Child I care, close your eyes and I will help you to
see the wonder within each day no matter what may befall you”
I close my eyes as I begin to feel surges of brilliant summery light surround me
We then enter a garden
The garden is filled with every color of grandeur beyond one’s dreams
Before me is a waterfall having all the colors of a rainbow
As I stay in this paradise… I feel peace throughout my whole being
My burdens seem to be lifted… for I no longer desire to carry them in my mind
Opening my eyes I felt the world and I were one again
A new day was given to me because the presence of SOMEONE who cared to see me anew

MY HEART’S DESIRE
A man who is a carefree gentleman – with a
dancing spirit
A man who makes love to me with his all…
Thus releasing my all to him…
Adding ecstasy to the torch of our passion…
A man who’s words make me feel like a princess
in a fairy tale
A man who’s kisses are as delicate as velvet
petals from a rose
A man who’s caresses ignite a flame of
tenderness within me that never ceases
A man who desires me to join him in making a
fairy tale a reality…
my heart’s desire
I’ve left the body you’ve loved for so many years
Yet know I’ve not left you completely… I’m in your
hearts
Only on a recall of a warming moment we’ve shared
I’m with you in spirit… only a whisper away
I hear and feel your grief for my absence in your
world
But I had to leave, my physical vehicle was no longer
able to enjoy the simple pleasures of life with you
I’ve lived my life and it was a happy one because of
you… although it wasn’t all I hoped for… that was
because of me and not you
Your love nourished me while I existed in the physical
world, and still flows to my heart while existing in
the spiritual world… eternity does exist
Each of you played a special role in my life… and I thank you
For you awakened my inner strength when I could not
Rest assured that we will meet together in rays of
sunshine in Our Creator’s Kingdom
I’m at peace… I’m learning with no pain… I’ve
elevated to a higher growth… I’m glad… but sad that
you cannot see me now… for you’d be elated to see how
I’ve blossomed
Think of me, for your thoughts will find its way to me
on a warm sunbeam
