When Memories Smile

~*Marge Tindal*~

To have held an angel
in your arms for even a short while
is to lend your heart a memory
meant to make you smile

Sometimes it doesn't work that way
but more often than not
even when the tears are falling
you'll be thankful that you've got
those snapshots of remember
For after a very long while
the smiles outnumber the tears
left in your heart by a child~
honest~


*For Martie, in memory-smiles of Michelle's birth-of-day~
I love you, sweet sister of my heart~

I cannot say anything that would do justice to this beautiful poem and the thoughts it conveys. So I will simply say that I think it is stunningly beautiful. And I'm sure Michelle is sending you angelic kisses (and of course she's sending them to Martie, but she's always with Martie)

Marge, it was my little angel Shiloh's B-day Friday and I send pictures of him to his praying friends.. and this poem reminded me so much of what I'm feeling deep within my soul. You are absolutely right, the memories of smiles linger in our hearts. A great dedication to your sister, I could feel the love. Thanks for sharing a little corner of your heart.   Love and peace Maggie ((~.~))

(big hugggssssss) Oh Marge, I cried reading this, this is sooooooo beautiful! (big hugggssss) As long as we all have each other, the number of smiles will always outnumber tears, in exception of those of happy tears! (smiles) Your sweet sister will always love you just as we all do! (kiss on cheek) YAY!!! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Marge, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

Marge-
   This is just beautiful, and so much a
   piece of your heart.
   May her memories bring more smiles than
   tears...and they will.
   Love ya, sweet friend,
