Rock The Cradle Of Regret ~*Marge Tindal*~ Rock the cradle of regret in lullabye of sigh-sung-blue Hold me in the bough of tender until my tears are through~ Blow the winds of soft-remember gently through my heart Caress me with the treasured moments before we had to part~ Keep me ever-mindful of sweet memories left behind Rock the cradle of regret forever in my mind~ ~It's supposed to get easier ... but it hasn't yet~ In loving memory of my little brother, David Michael Cowart June 20, 1946 - July 3, 1980 ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

Marge How well I know about how anniversaries creep up and hit you with remember. But I figured out it's a good thing because some things you never want to forget.  |

Marge: When those sad anniversary days roll around, it brings everything that happened right back, for you to face all over again, I know. This is a beautiful poem. Betty Lou Hebert |

This is so innocently sad. I like the emotion you put behind this Marge. I can feel it. A bird never flies so high that it can't hit the ground |

Rock the cradle of regret in lullabye of sigh-sung-blue Hold me in the bough of tender until my tears are through~ Blow the winds of soft-remember gently through my heart ================================ He inspires beautiful things in you... this is lovely...so many delicate phrases to wrap his memory in rhyme. You do him just with your tender renders. who is those "they" that always "say" anyway? hugs for a hard day mothyme We wish ourselves beautiful ... and cry in the night. |

Beautiful memories. I'm sorry they hurt so much. I suppose it never does get easier, we just go on. Hugs, sweet poetess. Sandra |

This is so beautiful, Marge. Memories are so painful, sometimes. I know. My brother died the same year as your did. He was 26 years old. He died a month before his birthday. I have found myself thinking about him a whole lot recently. His birthday was in May. I miss him so much. The tears just come each time I think of him. I understand what you are going through. *BIG HUGS* |

Perhaps that old adage about time making things easier just means that the intense, overwhelming pain eventually stops accompanying our every breath. *S* But the days of remember still hurt... memories bring both comfort and grief. This is painfully beautiful. *S* |

Dearest Friends~ You have felt the tears from my heart fall in poeticized need ... I thank you all for the tenderness you've bestowed during this time of rememberance for me~ The missing seems to fall harder this year ... and I'm not certain why ... but I've needed the time to process it all~ I so appreciate each of you~ Mike-in-spirit came to sit with me last evening and I found comfort in that ... very much so~ The sun came out to shine brightly today, ... first time in 19 days ... surely that must be a sign of change~ Long overdue~ Love and *hugs* to you all ... Please have a safe and happy July 4th celebration~ ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |
