If wishing it could bring you back to me Beside me here then you would surely stand My heart would sing in three part harmony If once again you graced my lonely land. If wishing were the balm to heal this pain At last my heart so light would sing a song Of joy replacing sorrow's sad refrain And dance a happy jig my whole life long. But wishes can't do anything at all And dreams, I know, can't change a single thing Reality has cruely come to call And missing you's the only song I sing. At rainbow's end we'll meet again, I'm sure That pot-O-gold that I am longing for. For Mom and Dad, in memory. ------------------ Denise |

Denise, Simply beautiful! A tear fell with the last lines. How we miss our parents when they're gone! I love this poem Liz - tired of typing out my name |

And that will be a wonderful meeting. Just think of all the things you will have to tell them. Mother has been gone 8 years and there are still times when I momentarily think I'd like to tell Mother. Then reality sets in and I know it will have to wait. Beautiful poem, Denise. |

Just inside Heaven's gates, right at the rainbow's end ... there are streets paved with gold, lined with our loved ones waiting for us to enter in. There will be great celebration when loved ones call our name. We turn, we look ... and God says, Welcome, we were waiting for you. ------------------ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |
