Ardent Recall
~*Marge Tindal*~

Ardent recall … seeded deep
surfaced now in poetic weep
Fold me gently in quilted remember
until I touch each memory tender~

Hold me in their loving embrace
as I shed these tears in grace
Baptize me with such ardent recall
while I touch my angels of the fall~

Let each memory that I maintain
be constantly in reverence of their names
Mother, Shari, Shelly … all three
Thank God they left the memories~

From within this chested-heart
give me visions before their depart
Let me traipse so carefully
among the footsteps of silken memory~

May each footprint etched upon this soul
remain with me … until I grow old
Keep me ever mindful of their love
whilst they comfort me from above~

And I would know that someday soon
they’ll wait for me beyond the moon
Pure joy will pour across this face
when again they hold me in their embrace~

For in that moment … I will treasure
all that is, beyond earthly measure
He fulfills the promise true
‘My child, my child … they wait for you.’


In loving memory of my Sister Shari, my sweetest little friend Shelly and my Mother~
This birthing month holds tender passionate recall of all they were in my life ... and I miss them so~

So beautiful Marge.  Did I see it before?  It seems I told you that many of mine were March babies including my grieved for son.  Joyce

OHJoyce~
The memories are old ... the thoughts new~

Yes, we both have many March memories to traipse through~

Denise~
Thank you ... it's sometimes harder than at other times ... but I try to find comfort in the gentle recall of all they were when they were here~

I have to maintain daily touch with those memories so they will not fade~

BettyLou~
Thank you for those prayers ... I feel they are helping~

Now for a 'little' GOOD news ... had the first, in a series of three, of the epidural steroid injections !  For the FIRST time in almost nine months ... I have finally have some relief from the pain in my hips and spine !  It isn't a cure-all ... but, oh how I welcome the relief !

Now if that isn't prayer-proof ... I don't know what is !

Thank you and my *huglets* to Ron~
