~ () Too Short The Wick ~*Marge Tindal*~ l ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ What claim to fame burned so brightly for so short a while until life refused to live you any longer ? Melting in puddles of waxed memory flicker 'cross a dim-lit room. Snuffed wick of recall lingering fragrances of your burning still waft to reach my senses of aching with the need of wanting more of you Reaching the crevices of this sister's heart reminding me of your eternal flame that lit my life In loving memory of my sister, Shari Cowart Ricker March 8, 1944 - October 7, 1999 |

Good piece. I only hope that I will leave that kind of feeling to those I love when I am gone. The White Wolf |

Marge my sweet friend; Just knowing that her flame will forever burn in your heart adds comfort to all those concerned. My prayers to you for the memories of your sister and your mother during these times and you know as I do that they are singing today in heaven and they are singing of their love for you. Hugs to you my friend. |

too often - I bypass posting replies - because I can't think of adequate words - I'm profoundly moved - but can't think of words to say. - This is such an occasion. - I'll simply say you have my love and prayers - and hope you understand. |

Friends ... I want you all to know that I deeply appreciate your thoughts, hugs and prayers. It is comforting to know that you each reach out to me in your own special ways. I thank you for that. Memory's flood-gates open wide at times like these ... your friendship has helped me navigate the troubled waters. To each of you who have lost someone, I spread my arms around you - as you have so tenderly done for me. With heartfelt emotion, I appreciate each of you. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |
