Barren A decade passed does not erase The mem’ry of your angel’s face The scent of lotion on your skin The longing I feel deep within Nor does the passing of ten years Dull newborn cries or soothe my tears Or mar the picture froze in time Of coal black hair and hand in mine I lost you on that Christmas eve The child I tried hard to conceive I held you as you fought so brave Then buried you in silent grave Ten years, my gift, each passing Yule A barren womb, though heart lies full * Once again, I post with a postscript that this is not based on my own experiences* ~ Ruth www.angelfire.com/pa/OriginalMinds/index.html [This message has been edited by hoot_owl_rn (05-14-2002 09:00 AM).] |

 (tears fall down my cheeks) Oh Ruth, I am so happy this is not based on your own experiences, though I still felt heartbroken reading this thinking of those who have lost their children and grieve over their losses for so so long! (BIG HUGGGSSSSS) My thoughts and prayers are with them all, sweet friend, God Bless You, we all love you so much,you are a true angel! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Ruth, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

Well Ruth, you brought the emotions to life, as you absolutely never forget the one you lost, never. Excellent write. Let's spend less time worrying about when our life is going to end, and more on when it's going to start! |

Seems like your disclaimer didn't do much good  Fine writing, Ruth. To take an experience and make it sound so convincing is indeed talent. Nice writing, lobster pal  |
