Good Memories Days from now your eulogy was given, But years from now, I will still enliven The moments past, the memories swell Of how we met, of how we dwelled Together. Visits, visits, momentary meets Eating, loving engagements sweet Introducing you to friends Only to find you knew her when… Together. I wanted to visit your site today But the weather was iffy, as if to say “stay home, stay home” there will be Another time to mark our say. Together. A poet remarked upon a poem Pushed it up, remanding “home” Bless her heart, she heard your notes My only sorrow, duets never wrote Together. You knew my Martie, serenity, others and you loved my way of prose Finally you decided to be less severe, And listened to my voice, As we spoke, together. But today I am minding my lines Still trying to find my voice, As I hear you talking in my ear, Decidedly, and with choice, Together. People are telling me, get on with life But it was better with you, and now The tempo strikes its wrong And as one, I will walk alone Together. ~*~ © KRJ; IN MEMORY OF “BRIDGET SCHENACHIE” LOUISE RYAN. 9-3-11 Thank you, Suthern 66000 |

A lovely addition to the series. Your talent brings out the best of words, even with the worst kinds of topics...remembering words of Dylan Thomas, death has no dominion, especially when a good poet gets involved with that process. |

A special thing it is to meet Passion's poet or poetess! I never knew her, but I "have met" a.talented Kansas poetess who has made a lasting impression me. Sweet memories. I enjoyed your lovely tribute. I bet she would have enjoyedit a lot. Miscellanea |

Paul, how grateful am I to have such good friends and even more so for those that leave poetic touches on someone's breast who meant so much to me. Louise is smiling. And lest anyone think that there was more than just friendship here; No....but she was a poet in her heart, and grew this poet to be MORE, and she continues to whisper her thoughts to me, through friends like you.
