She gave me three days to grieve Then helped me up With a pat on the butt and a gentle push, said “that’s enough” since then, although I miss, I feel an uncanny bliss Because I feel her smile See her face, full of guile Lovely, selfless K, Gave more away Than she ever took ~I dare say everyone's personal experience with her was different because she had a way of reading people and giving what they needed and I believe this in turn gave her a little of what she needed. I honor her memory and our friendship by living to the fullest and being grateful, for everything even that which tests me. ~Note on the use of "Guile"-K often would listen and purposely not mention her own struggles until after the fact. Hence, the use of that word.. Thank you K. *fk* "too bad ignorance isn't painful" |

The best poem concerning her I have read. ~*~ If they give you lined paper write sideways. ~*~ |

Susan,this is Karen right into her heart.I felt as close for the same reasons.She talked I listened, I talked, she listened. Never a one sided chat, as so many demand. Thanks for this , jo |
