.gif) If and when have come and gone...and gone is here to taunt The memories of what almost was...will forever haunt Sweet memories of yesterday come to hold my hand While smiles of your sunshine.....are more than I can stand A love that warmed my heart...with peace it was encased Your fingerprints upon my life shall never be erased Every tear and smile are etched in crystal form Upon the walls of a broken heart they painfully adorn The moments of love are mere ghosts of a now silent "use to be" From the chains of sorrow my heart struggles to be free If and when have come and gone...and gone is here to taunt A love not meant to be...The words echo and will forever haunt [This message has been edited by Butterflies_dont_cry (edited 08-15-2000).] |

Holly my dear love in faith---You have not only met the challenge but you have given of your heart as well....your love will someday be...this lifetime was a circle two thirds drawn and you need only to reach with your dreams as you know only one third remains.....(7x4=28 and 7x6=42)(4/6 becomes 2/3 and each turn is 1/3 etched) You know my heart "SIS" and I wish for you the peace you seek.  Now my sweet "Sis" let me see what you can do with the Magnolias.  [This message has been edited by Mark Bohannan (edited 08-15-2000).] |

I had to pull this one up again because you know I share in your pain. Your words are as haunting as the context it was written in and well you know that I know. Hugs. |

Oh Butterflies I'm left with a real sense of sadness here. Reflecting back on my own life I guess and wishing you peace for yours. Love, Juls |

How very beautiful and sad, this poem. I have felt this pain. You have expresed it perfectly catalinamoon Words are things, and a small drop of ink, falling, like dew, upon a thought produces that which makes thousands, perhaps millions think. Lord Byron |
