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 the true of who I am,
gives me reason to be thankful for the gift of remember~


*December 2003*
A gentle December-In-Remember

~*When the heart grieves over what it has lost,
the spirit rejoices over what it has left.

You bring back my own calendar of remembers,
of tears that still sometimes fall.....of
a soft sigh as a moment comes to mind,  a
touch is felt inside...I have my own list
that grows slowly...until one day I will
be a part of another one....held tenderly
by my children....

Thanx for the beauty of this Marge...

Well woven personification of a simple teardrop. Fallen in sadness, yes, but also with a modicum of joy, as each memory remembered recalls the ripples still spreading from their rock tossed in the waters of Creation.

And yes, there will be a time when the smiles outnumber the tears, though that may not be on this mortal coil.

Glad I caught this beauty Marge.

Lovely verse you wrote here.

Love you dear friend, hope all is well

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~

How I understand... how beautifully you've written your tears. *S*

Marge...Beautifully written. Thanks for sharing your memories with us...Paul

A memory...a face

Remember each face and place of December

Thanks to each of you for your tender messages~

Each remember brings a tear ... yet each tear brings some joy in knowing that they have all gone to a far greater place in His gather of angels~
