Silver moon was more resplendent Nurtured by a loving friend Moonlight touched the hearts of poets When it tiptoed from her pen Love became a greater passion Hugs were warmer than before Friendship poured in greater volume From her wide and open door She could tug at tender heartstrings Of the hardy and the meek She could wrench a tender tear From deepest wells onto a cheek She could paint the pride of heritage In colorful displays And the greatest joys of friendship She could sweep into a phrase But when I remember Margie I believe I will recall The concern and pure compassion She dispersed to one and all In the darkest of our seasons She was always standing near Waiting patiently and lovingly To catch a falling tear And the moon was more resplendent Nurtured by a faithful friend Moonlight touched the hearts of poets When it tiptoed from her pen I love you, Marge Liz |

Liz, these words were truly Marge: "But when I remember Margie I believe I will recall The concern and pure compassion She dispersed to one and all In the darkest of our seasons She was always standing near Waiting patiently and lovingly To catch a falling tear And the moon was more resplendent Nurtured by a faithful friend Moonlight touched the hearts of poets When it tiptoed from her pen" M |

As we can count on the moon every night, so could we count on Marge. A very beautiful tribute. |

Oh Liz, thank you for your beautiful words. Always love your style of writing. Marge had a heart as big as the world, in which we all had our own place and space. Like scattered leaves...my words will flow |

Elizabeth, this is absolutely beautiful. And, so true. Marge deeply touched my heart. I will always and forever remember the inspiration I got from Marge. I miss her so much. Just so you know, I want to tell you now. You, my dear Elizabeth have touched my heart, too. And, you have also been a great inspiration to me. I love your poetry. |

Dear Liz, the first poem I read after a three week spell is your beautiful tribute to Marge and what a heart touching poem it is. You wrote it with sincere compassion, appreciated by us all. I take my hat off to you dear lady, it was wonderful. Love Lindsay |

You know I was waiting for just the right poem to put behind Marge's picture in my memory book, and should have known it would be you capture her Liz. I just can not write for some reason these days, but appreciate the work of those that do. This dear lady, is a perfect picture poem of Marge. I still am in a bit of shock over this to be honest, and forget each day she is no longer here. |
