Teapot It’s delicate beauty A china teapot softly sits Offering solace from the world Playing the familiar comforting song I can still hear the gentle echoes Of her soothing tender voice Floating in the air. ~*~ Memories emerge. As my soul glows warmly Remembering the happier times Feeling safe… happy there in your house Watching you… singing a long With the tinkering melody While washing dishes ~*~ Emotions flow freely. As my heart cries with want Wanting to see you one more time To tell you I love you… feel your gentle arms Wrap around me… a consuming hug Making me feel like the lil girl That used to sit in your lap ~*~ I smile softly. Hearing the soft chimes Knowing that every time it plays I feel you near… your heart holding mine. Your love encircling my being Giving me the strength Holding my hand. * * * * This is for my great-grandmother who I have been missing very much. She passed away almost 11 years ago.. and I still need her as much as I did when she was here. A recent email from a very kind person reminded me how much I missed her..and how important she was and is in my life... inspiring me to write this. Thanks SEA  .TaraB [This message has been edited by rosepetals25 (edited 07-19-2001).] |

Sunshine - Thank you. The china teapot was actually a music box. It plays Tea For Two. I have it sitting in my bedroom I'm glad you stopped in... and I'm glad you liked it.TaraB [This message has been edited by rosepetals25 (edited 07-19-2001).] |

The title drew me in, for I adore teapots. I was pleasantly surprised, and my heart was quickly touched by your tender poem for your grandmother. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Emotions flow freely. As my heart cries with want Wanting to see you one more time To tell you I love you… feel your gentle arms ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I miss my grandma too. Hugs, Deb |
