In response to Marge’s poem,
A Stairway to Heaven's Door,
posted in the Spiritual Forum


Step by step she built a stairway
Word by word she wrote her love
Every poem was one step higher
To a lofty realm above

Every hug was seen by heaven
Each kind word was etched in stone  
As she wrote, an angel noted
All the kindness she has shown

Climb your stairway, dearest poet
You are worthy to ascend
I just wish that I were worthy
To be called your poet friend

You have taught my heart of friendship
Unconditional and true
Climb your stairway to the sky
For He is waiting there for you

Liz

Lizzie what a tribute!  She was all that and a bag of chips that's for sure!   I remember mostly her quick wit, and sense of humor.  When I read her obituary, I was not surprised she owned a roller rink once, that is just "so Marge."

You dear lady, are worth to be a fried of anyone, and they would be SO blessed.  Love ya.

Carpe' Diem,
Mysteria

In the gardens of the Great Spirit,
a new angel tends the flowers...
while on earth the poets mourn
for this angel that was ours.
