Tuck Of Time ~*Marge Tindal*~ Softly, I am folded into this tuck-of-time Heart held suspended in touchable thoughts Carouseling memories keep turning me back to you Your footprints are as fresh as yesterday’s rain Happily I splash the puddles of my yesteryears finding those special moments you made sure I’d have for all time Daddy’s are supposed to be forever … and yet it was not to be You were called away too soon from the growing tree of me So many times I sit the boughs of your memory My arms wrapped tightly around myself rocking to the sound of your whistling You taught me that, you know … I remember so well when you said, "Don’t let them tell you girls don’t whistle, Margie." So, I learned to do it … and do it well You’d be proud of the woman I’ve become, Daddy just as I am proud of the memories of you~ "Life is filled with if only’s," you said. I’ve come to know this is true … If only I had been given the chance to know you longer we’d undoubtedly have been the best of friends~ So I fill my thoughts with your memories wishing there were more … In loving memory of my father, Mitchell C. Cowart, who was tragically taken from this young girls life at much too early an age … both his and mine~ Daddy – July 1, 1917 - May 24, 1957 ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

Dear Marge: I love this poem and it's a wonderful tribute to your dad. I'm sure he would be so proud of you and who you are and perhaps he does know? My dad died at 53, which seemed young to me, but your Dad was so young!! Love Betty Lou Betty Lou Hebert |

Marge, This title caught me a full day before I could read it...and I didn't know why. Understood so well the thoughts and feelings tucked within. Hugs, TD |

He certainly was taken far too young and too early from you. I don't think we ever feel we have had our "Daddy's" long enough. hugs M |

Just because today is another 'remembering day'~ Though I browse the memories, how very much I still miss my father~ ~*Marge*~ ~*When the heart grieves over what it has lost, |
