To the both of you… you're not really gone you know, no, don't think so hear you all the time, here in my heart, here in my mind conversations not had sweep along sweet songs keep me from going mad for I fully understand why you left early (too early) you hadn't even gone through all of autumn yet but when the love of your life is not there, by your side, how can you still care ~ you could not for he was that and you made a date with an angel and had to keep the rendevous so when the illness came on you thought children and their progeny would be your strength but he had promised "till death do us part" and that was not good enough for you it would never be ~ when the stars in your eyes were his eyes when the love in your heart was his heart when his breath filled your lungs I cannot blame you for winning the fight when the struggle was to stay alive without him after all so I know you are with the love of your life, as he is with his and I smile at the both of you so please just know you're not really gone you know no don't think so hear you all the time here in my heart here in my mind ~*~ To Bob and Jackie Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |

If your poem was not enough to bring tears to my eyes already then your reply to Marsha would have...to find that once in a lifetime love and then for you to have it bloom before your eyes...what a gift they are to you...and yes they shall always live within your heart and memories...so beautifully woven Karilea~ The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched ---- they must be felt with the heart~ *??* |

Holly, when I wrote this, I was OK...when I read it here in the blues...I cried... If there ever was a Prince and Cinderella...they were it... and the mold has been broken... thank you dear... Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |
