My ‘ol friend Has anyone here seen my ‘ol friend Elizabeth? Can you tell me where she's gone? She wrote a lot of people here But it appears her words be fallen I just looked around and saw Something wrong Something gone ....... Don't you love the things she stands for? Hasn't she tried to find the good in you and me? Don’t you see She set us free Someday soon It's gonna be one day But Anybody here know her dear departed Can you tell her where he's gone You know I saw him walking up o'er Yonder hill, talking with Abraham, Martin and John < !signature--> Writing isn't just something I do, it's something I am. To write of Feelings that touch all hearts in some manner is my delight. ~Marge Tindal~ And YOU sure do ~dale~ [This message has been edited by lucky (edited 12-10-2000).] |

Through floods of tears I read this poem, enormously moving, and so true ... And now I know why you've been shedding quiet tears across the study - (though I gave you a hug and a kiss on the back, I know better than to break into your train of thought, when you're writing from the heart) and neither of us knew that the other was working on a poem for Elizabeth at the same time! Yours is far better than mine, so I'll let mine be. Maybe another day... Oh, Elizabeth, we both care so much! God bless you and your children. The spiritual wind that holds survivors aloft, plants the seeds from which bloom new hope ... R.J.G. |

Father God, I love the heart you've given me... And I could not say thank you enough for the heart of Rosemary... Though I don't know what she has written I think she should post it... just because it's for Liz..... and that's what I think..! . |

Lucky~ And I thank God for YOU ! Sending heartfelt hugs to you and Elizabeth and Rosemary. This is such a warm and wonderful reminder of why I find your work so compassionate. *Yes, I agree - Our Rosemary should post hers too. Love to both. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |
