(I noticed Larry's beautiful re-post in memory of her, so I decided to follow Larry's lead in remembering a friend Passions will forever be blessed to have in our hearts forever. For our sweet Lyra...who now truly is a chipmunk that can really fly!  God Bless You forever and your whole family and all who remember her!) The Chipmunk Diaries By: Noah Eaton 9/19/02 Sweet little chipmunk, up in the acorn tree Come down and share your endless story With tears and laughter and compassion May the world be your sanctuary... Poetry police used to chase her away But here she's only grown stronger than ever before Rising before every Lake Michigan sunset Finding much inspiration and meanings of life to implore Stealthily from her dreaming tree she gazes the world From winter trees to tapestries and flower children and don't forget Herby Curby She is an adorable hippie chick, truly a woman of the new milennium She may not fly like a bird but she can sing true poetry  She pours out her loving heart and tears to us all Speaking of her husbands, son, friends, and all her family with loves light We all send angel hugs your way to those you have lost But know they will always love you and guide you with their grace and will never forget you, for now they are butterflies With an angelic heart she writes with utmost sincerity We'll always be here kissing your tears and laughing with you everyday As you make up a huge part of this circle of love Crooning with the soul of Joan Baez and cooking with Crayola gourmet For you are Madame Chipmunk, a little gem of God Reaching out to cheer us all up on gray days as we do the same for you truly Keep practicing, sweet chipmunk, and maybe you can fly like those birds And even if you can't, who cares, we love you so much more wholeheartedly! Because you are God's sweet golden niece...  "You'll find something that's enough to keep you But if the bright lights don't receive you You should turn yourself around and come back home" MB20 |

One of the joys I have is in going back to see if a poem is worthy of reposting...or if it needs some revision...and sometimes, on the really good days, I see a little chipmunks smile and happy wave coming to me. The words she left behind for us continue to lift, and inspire. I would urge every new member who never got to know Madame Chipmunk, or Lyra, as we came to know her, to visit the archives, see her poetry, get to know her as the person that we continue to love, and respect. Noah, thank you. |

Noah, a loving remembrance of our dear Lyra. The day we moved into our new house, we pulled into the driveway and got out of the car and were greeted by a cute little chipmunk. I knew this is where we were supposed to be. Special thanks Lyra! Missing you lots and my love to Dave. Marti |

Noah, Nicely done. But my post was not a re-post. If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |

Whenever I visit the archives, I have little visits with Lyra ~ her warm and spirited poetry and her loving and kind replies. She lives on through these blue pages. On reading your poem, and the one recently written by Larry, new members may be inspired to get to know her as we do by reading her archived words. Ah, yes! Our wonderful little chippermunk now has wings and flies even higher now! Love to you both, Linda |
