My Very Only My very only she called you just a bit of girl stretched along arm of recliner next to your snoring self A presence felt along your left side like sight to the cataracts of your eyes full of whim and crinkled questions Read to me she told the paper folded over your face she took a peek under the largest letter it was an M my name starts with that she whispered Grandpa listen listen the paper is loud it will wake you if you move don’t move Only while you’re sleeping could you cross your legs let me sit on your foot be my horse now please I’ll hold your knee make that sound the clop clop with you tongue sing me the song that horses strum I’ll close my eyes and we will be just us two and the prairie They ride the clouds to the far beyond on the horse of that recliner wings are drawn ---------- In loving memory of Michelle and my dad [This message has been edited by Martie (06-15-2003 10:10 PM).] |

Like Slick said, yep! Seems like everything you write just connects in one way or another, and is impossible not to like. This little vignette is so poignantly expressive, and such a remembrance of these beautiful people who are still part of you in so many ways. ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |

Awesome... very moving and reminds of one's removed from my life as well. Psalms 20:7 "Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the Lord our God." |

Martie, And such fond memories...Peace.  If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |

The only thing that could possibly exceed the beauty of this write is its tenderness... this is exquisite. |

I read this last night and then again this morning because when your name is beside a poem, I know I will be touched by your words, Martie. Hugs M |

they both live through the thoughts and feeolings you gender in all of us with your poetry - what a super poem that touches me so deeply - that grandchild grandpa relationship can be so very special - I could hear my grandson and granddaughter as I was taken to a special place by your poem - Paul |
