This was written for me as a Christmas present. I received it from a woman who has become very important to me. Funny enough, she is my mother-in-law. (For those of you who do not know...I am divorced) She wrote this about the last few years of my life, since my divorce. Jo, I could not completely voice my appreciation for this, for I was near tears. Thankyou for being more then family and more then a friend. I love you dearly. Emergence to Freedom Web like strands surrounding her, a cystalyst of hope. Uncertainty and harshness bind, yet somehow she will cope. Slowly, ever growing through, the shell of love left weak. She finds herself, emerging with a better life to seek. She spreads her wings and tests the air, no caperpiller-she. She's found herself, with wings of gold, 'Cause butterflies are free. In my life, I am truely blest with people who love me. Marilyn Harrison. |

I think it's wonderful that you can still be friends with you ex mother-in-law, I was not so fortunante with my ex fiance's family! Loved the poem too. |

Truly beautiful I have learned that the pain of a lost love will fade, But the memory of having loved will last forever. |

Very beautiful, indeed. I'm very glad that you have someone that lovely and thoughtful in your life. Alicat As I sit here dimly thinking Watching modem lights a-blinking Churning out poetic hash. Lord, in all Your piety, Help me keep my sanity: Please don't let the modem crash! --Alicat |

This is beautiful! ~*~ Hell is not a place of fire and a devil with a tail and horns. But a place of torment because the light of God is gone. To escape this, accept the blood of Jesus Christ! ~*~ |

How wonderful Maz, so big of her, I know my Mother In Law can't ever do big or thankful things like this. You are loved my sis, never doubt that. At the touch of love everyone becomes a poet. (Plato) ~Isis~ (Daughter of Mystery) |

With a Mother-in-law that sweet, it makes up for having to go through a divorce. This is beautiful. |
