Her small wheelchair sits empty there; pink upholstery shining bright. What are we going to do with it? It haunts me day and night. ~ ~ ~ The Little Mermaid quilt is soft upon her unused bed; and the pillow where for precious years, she laid her pretty head. ~ ~ ~ Her ruffled dresses hang in a row; her dolls sit upon her shelves. What shall we do with our love, my dear; what shall we do with ourselves? ~ ~ ~ Her voice so sweet sounds through my soul, each time I pass her door. What shall we do with her room, sweetheart? What shall we use it for? ~ ~ ~ (About Misty Angelita) ~ ~ ~ [This message has been edited by Rosemary J. Gwaltney (edited 04-23-2000).] |

Rosemary, I can't even begin to imagine the pain of which you speak. But I can say that this piece truly broke my heart. My prayers go out to you. All my love, Jeffrey |

Rosemary~ Another piece of your heart that needs a hug. I open my arms and wrap you in them. I love you, my friend. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Oh my Sweet, I know the place. You noticed I've put a lock on the door so the other kids won't enter. But I don't know what to do from there. Sorry for Misty tears in April, but maybe Christ will come in may or possibly June. Always Yours, Lucky |

Rosemary, This could be a ballad sung in a minor key. It is so beautifully written. You are a very strong person and poet. Franni |

Beautiful writing, but such a sad situation. I will be praying for you. "We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars." -Oscar Wilde |

Well my dear I cracked the lock and took a look and gathered all and straped in boxes the walls are now painted white and bright but I’m still not quite sure what belongs in here so I’ll lock again to pass some nights and pray to God to know what’s right. So much Love, Lucky< !signature--> [This message has been edited by lucky (edited 04-25-2000).] |
