 Sweet Pea (in loving memory of my dad) I was his sweet pea even then after the slamming door the scream within my pillow the radio’s love song where I took a breath of dying He gave me that in his waiting listening as my mirror broke (oh he felt it was his own...I see that now) My tendrils slide beneath the door trying to find the sun around and about folding and folded still I climb the whim of his shoulder moving toward the light of him [This message has been edited by Martie (03-06-2003 05:59 PM).] |

The photo of your Dad among the sweet peas and your tender poetic expression, have pulled at my heartstrings. Very special and thank you for letting us share in something so personal. Sending loving hugs to you both! EA |

Thank you! My dad sometimes just fills me and it helps to write him, otherwise I might explode. He continues to be an inspiration.  |

Martie, you actually created a chill with this one....climbing the whim of his shoulder...absolutely outstanding. If you are any measure of what kind of man he was then he was a giant.. |
