Dedicated to Hope.....Thanks Giving!
In the backpocket of my mind
I carry a photograph of Hope
creased, slightly yellowed
forever nine years old

wearing a blue summer dress
skinny limbs hiding grace
a slight space in her teeth, a smile
knock-kneed, legs in a pair of Buster Browns

hair is dark and straight
bangs blowing slightly
from the breeze
revealing her shy brown eyes, smiling

she always smiled then
her face presents a soft sweetness
a bashful innocence
a femininity, a tender sense

she is EVER
my smiling enigma
child in a photo
taken by God!

(Dedicated to Hope Lemke)

You have made Hope appear before my very eyes. Her memory lives on through your love and your poetry.

God must have needed another angel in heaven and called her back Home. I am truly moved by your words ~ and your loss.

Her love, as well as her smile, will be with you always.

God bless you both.

Love & Eternal Light,
EA

Thanks you are always so loving
with such special thoughts,
as was Hope!

MGROVES
she certainly was and she has left
me with such loving memories.

Earth Angel
I have not even touched on the tip
of what a wonderful being Hope was.
I feel blessed to have been a part
of her life. Childrens illness are so
hard to understand!

Thanks to all of you for your comments.
Thanks for stopping by!
