Moisturizing Memories~ ~*Marge Tindal*~ One tiny teardrop looking for a place to fall Seeking a cheek to caress in total recall~ And should it trickle past a smile you left for me to reclaim You are a memory I won't soon forget Knowing that though you are gone, always you will remain~ One droplet of sweet remember, moisturizing your memory Bringing you back to dwell within the very heart of me~ Tears and smiles are all I have in this soul of kindred keeping All you were and all I am are shed within this weeping~ And though I shed each of you in a different sweep of time's command Cumulatively I remember when you each held my hand~ Someday the smiles will outnumber the tears but, until they do God knows that I was blessed to be touched by each of you~ ~*~ Grandma Wainright~How many times you come to play in my heart~ Daddy~Here too short ... gone too long~ Granddaddy~ Your memory is as tall as the cast of your shadow~ Brother Mike~Oh, Mike ... most of all, most of all~ Michelle Lynette Barr~ Angel child of my heart .. a blessing you were to me~ Little Granny~Tightly held with squeezing heart-hugs~ Hilda Isaly~ Nanny ... you left so many smiles~ Mother~Fragrance of rose or a butterfly in flutter .. brings you back to me~ Aunt Mimi~ Oh, my ... how precious the smiles of remember~ Joseph R. Pearce~More than teacher .. you gave me reason to believe in myself~ Sister Shari~Too short the wick ... but, oh how you glowed~ ~*~ Flipping through this Rolodex of December-In-Remember I thank God for the beauty of each etching on my heart. Believing that, far beyond time they share in my joy, gives me reason to be thankful for the gift of remember~ *December 2001* ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com [This message has been edited by Marge Tindal (12-29-2001 10:59 AM).] |

This is wonderful, MArge. As the new year approaches, it is fitting to pay homage to the memories of those who made such impacts on our lives and then left much too soon....you have done a spendid job here  |

It is hard to type through the tears as I remember my loved ones that have passed away. I always know if I a poem conveys the feeling I was trying to show if it brings a tear to the readers eye. You got this one right as you do all you post. Dan Death comes not when we cease to breathe, but when we cease to dream. |

Marge..this touches me lots....I have my own list of those who I have shed many tears for. And it grows by the year....I hope that I am on a list someday...remembered for good things that I have shared... I have no doubt that you will be...none whatsoever.... |

Marge- Well, I've been here and read this several times now, and each time, I put off replying. I just haven't been able to find the words to express how this touches me...and then... I remembered...you know. Great big hugs to you, sweetest friend. Love you bunches,  ~Vicky "...until you have read the verse on his heart, you have not truly met the poet. ~vlraynes [This message has been edited by vlraynes (12-30-2001 03:42 AM).] |
