 Beginning to End By Larry Chadwick You could see it from the start, It was written on their faces. They were meant to be in love, Though they’d come from different places. From the innocence of their youth, They had an intensity of devotion. A foundation for their family, Where you could feel true love’s emotion. For when they made their vows, It was done with pure intent. Knowing love can conquer all, When your mate is heaven sent. There were plenty of good times, That far out weighed the bad. We were proud to watch, The faithfulness of our mom and dad. They professed their love as loudly, At the end as when it started. It’s what gives my mother strength, Now that dad’s departed. October 24, 2002 If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. [This message has been edited by Larry C (10-25-2002 12:25 PM).] |

Larry this has a nice feel to it, speaking of feel, I think you are missing one from the last line of verse two. Good work Keth Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |

How very beautiful... both the poem and the love shared through so many years... that now sustains through the tears. *S* [This message has been edited by suthern (10-25-2002 10:45 AM).] |

Larry, this is so heartwarming and beautiful. The love sounds a lot like my parents. I know that you are hurting from your Dad's passing...but, as your Mom is doing, I know that the love you and your Father shared is going to help you through. Thanks for sharing your heart, dear, sweet friend. Love To All, Ethel |

If this poem and the photo affected me this much---I can only imagine your Mom's reaction when she saw this. Another special addition to your family records! Linda |

Yes a wonderful tribute Larry (psst, the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree does it - that nose looks familiar)  I drew a moustache on the screen and yup there you were. |

Larry, thank you for continuing to share your family. I feel like we are neighbors and friends and it's nice to be involved with all of you. This is a lovely tribute to your Mom and Dad. Hugs, Marti Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away. |
