why have they brought me here all these stones in queer shapes isn't this where they bury the dead? my mother, her hair so fair why does she lay weeping there my father holds her close he looks at the sky oh please dont cry i promise i will be good my little sister is so pretty why does everyone talk so softly where did she go? i must find her mommy will be angry so the sun is so bright oh there she is playing with the butterflies lets go to mommy baby i'll race you across the grass lets touch all these stones you musn't slow me down tears glisten on mommys cheeks i'll put a smile on her lips theres a bird on that tree i'll show her i can spell on the rock is a familiar name A-N-N-A MOMMY THATS MY NAME [This message has been edited by wonderous (edited 03-27-2000).] |

What a sad surprise the ending is. This is beautiful. Sheila ...the earth and myself are of one mind. The measure of the land and the measure of our bodies are the same........... Joseph, Nez Perce Chief |

Wonderous~ This tugs at my heartstrings. Loss of a child is such a heart-rendering tragedy. If Anna is yours, my sympathy ... if not ... she's somebody's child. I'll remember this poem for a long, long time. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Wonderous this gave me chills. Haunting but beautiful in the idea that when we're "gone", we're not really. Very touching. ...Give me the strength to walk the soft earth, a relative to all that is.... Black Eagle Oglala Sioux holy man |

Wow! What a surprise. And so so sad, the loss of a child would be awful I think. Great job! ~Heather |
