This poem was written in loving memory of my dad, who passed away in 1988, my first husband who died in 1999 and my son, Eric, who died in 2000. ~Memories Lit By Loving Spark~Lyra |

Lyra I love photo albums...I'm sure they watch you with the same love and laughter that you shared when they were on this earth.  |

 (tears fall down my cheeks) Oh Lyra, this is sooooooo beautifully sensitive, sweet friend, and I know with all my heart all these special people will always remember you and when you are sitting alone in your room on the darkest days, it is their love that brings comfort and light to your heart! (sigh) God Bless You, sweet friend, you are one of the best friends I've ever had, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Lyra, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

Oh Lyra - This is such a tribute to them. It is beautiful and your writing must make them so proud. '...They guide me gently through the dark their love and laughter still sincere In memories lit by loving spark I feel their cherished presence near...' I know they are with you, watching over you and protecting you. It is so sad that they are gone, but with my all heart I believe they are together and I hope that brings you comfort. You are such a dear and sweet person and I am so honored to call you friend. Hugs, Marti |

Lyra darling heart and keeper of the dawns glory this is stunningly well written the way it flows from beginning to end is beautiful. That you write exceedingly well everyone acknowledges, when you write and you incorporate the starlight’s shimmer you positively shine with wonder. It is no secret that I adore your writing, some may think that I am a little too enthusiastic sometimes, but even they must realise that this is worthy of as much praise as I could heap on it. Light that flows with the liquidity of crystal streams of water, words that caress the soul with beauty, and phrasing and meter that puts masters of the art to shame, this is stunning and I love it utterly utterly utterly A beautiful tribute to beautiful soul that caressed a beautiful heart, this is truly superb writing   Love and warm stuff As always Mushy  Breathe through the heat of our desire |

Lyra, once again, you've touched my heart. A poem of beautiful and everlasting remembrance. Awesome are these two lines especially: "their timeless lives hold memories sealed with secret knowledge borne unshared" Thank you for sharing with us your heart songs through your precious poetry, we all love to read your words and learn from your wisdom.  marie Keep counting your blessings [This message has been edited by mycafe (07-31-2002 09:32 PM).] |

Lyra, Such a wonderful tribute. It reminds me of a country song I am fond of " Holes In The Floor of Heaven" If you haven't heard it and get a chance to listen to it, I hope you do. Artist Steve Warner |

Thanks so much, Martie... I really do feel my first husband's presence all the time, and whenever we go to Ann Arbor for my treatments, I can feel Eric's presence, probably because he went to school there...and my Dad...whenever I hear the sound of a baseball game on TV...I can just see him sitting there and cheering. I'm glad you enjoyed the photos and the poem. ~ warm chipmunk hugsLyra |
