small plate of teacup memories it didn't begin when we were small but had we met then it would have and there is a plate alongside my wall that pictures us, just so you the brunette me, the blonde kittens in laps and teacup memories of pretend and dress up lace and frilly dresses secrets shared pinked cheeked smiling faces you and me we didn't start our memories then we waited until after high school we were acquaintances that became friends long after the halls of study were left behind you came hundreds of miles to attend my wedding wished me the best and a kinship was born hundreds of miles have never kept us from talking, frequently or otherwise… always there the phone will ring, and we will pick up the conversation of yesterday and carry it on through tomorrow always there there will never be a time that you will not be there for me or I for you… you helped me walk through the divorce after cheering the births of two little girls always there I walked you through the heartbreaks of relationships, hoping someday you would find "the one" but quietly reveling in your independence always there you will be forever the brunette I shall be the blonde then I remarried and you changed your name not once, but twice first once again, independently then once again, in marriage always there when I saw the plate, your name came to mind how we would have been forever friends as children how we will be forever friends as matrons for we passed our lives in decades together, apart always stepping in time you going your way I going mine together, apart coming together to think how it might have been, had we been children in kind sharing our laps with kittens and clinking teacups in make-believe wearing frilly dresses [we were never ones for frilly dresses, but they are so pretty, and we've always appreciated pretty] and now you are an artist of jewelry and I am a rambler in words thus you dress the ladies in pretty as I sometimes feed souls in poetry and we attempt to walk in like and kind kindly liking what we do finding ourselves, newly molded going forward to see what the fifth decade will hold holding strong the plate has been shared between us now for a few years I wonder where yours sits? mine dwells in a room fondly called "antique" because the chimera of the little girls in lace with laps of kittens and teacups sharing memories one blonde one brunette belongs there, where I can see it always and always smile at the thoughts that are still to be had between us as the decades slide beneath our feet for the smiles that we shall share between us, and with others that come our way and now, you will live somewhere in immortality for I have cast you and woven you into a memory of caring as I have shared my heart with you now I share you in passionate recollection and salute you, my friend, with a teacup memory dedicated to Yvonne Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |

Karilea~ So touching ... sometimes I think that memories are the best ink we can come across~ *Huglets*  ~*Marge*~ ~*The sound of a kiss is not as strong as that of a cannon, but it's echo endures much longer*~ |

best friends create the greatest memories ... perhaps we should set time aside regularly to create memories If you continue |

Dear Sissie....I have some of those myself and cherish them as if they were my real sister. A beautiful poem, I almost forgot to say, but then, of course it is! |
