when everything that’s green reaches upward and out and the days of spring and summer go on and on and even the weeds the unwanted ever present uncared for weeds seem happy life’s final demise seems far from the beating of the sun and it would seem a lie to be screamed at the insolent blue sky that you are no longer here to share it but when the sky starts to fall little white bits at a time and gloom squeezes the color out of the day it is somehow easier to see you in His arms instead of mine and somehow easier not to wish you warmly layered and ready to brave the frigidity [This message has been edited by jellybeans (11-24-2004 05:09 PM).] |

but when the sky starts to fall little white bits at a time and gloom squeezes the color out of the day it is somehow easier to see you in His arms instead of mine and somehow easier not to wish you warmly layered and ready to brave the frigidity ~*~ And thus, the forgiving begins... You are a remarkable woman, mother, friend...  |

I've sat here for over five minutes trying to come up with some appropriate response that would not sound trite and I just can't do it. All I can say is I feel what you caused these words to make one feel..and I'm struck by the brilliance of your writing. Wishing you all the best....  |

A heartwrenching piece of writing that touched me. Of course, salvation is the greater gift of life, is it not? Which is greater? To stay here touching lives as you do or go home to Him? Both worth the living and the living through (as far as I'm concerned). This was a sweeping poem full of depth and feeling. I engrossed myself in your every perfectly placed word. Truly inspirational writing divinely inspired. Kevin |
