The greatest gifts in life define Devout parental care. Souls woven of life's finest thread Darn pride in fledglings' fare. My quest that I might stand their stead; Same tears shed twice before. Mellitus lance bescourged this day Sweet progeny once more. What future's cast as shadows lay Beneath their ventured stride? Insidious this curse within, Ensuing years decried. E'er days of bliss or bleak chagrin We each must heed His call Our lives to live as His design But must He have my all? [This message has been edited by Nan (edited 12-13-1999).] |

Nan, Your poem flew o'er the mountain high, I reached into the sky. But it flew so high up in the sky, It passed me with a fie. I read it dear, I read it clear So near it did appear. But I could not clear the wordage dear And for that I shed a tear. Only fooling, this is a wonderful poem. *L* Sy [This message has been edited by Seymour Tabin (edited 12-13-1999).] |

Well done Lady Nan... having two daughters who feel they can take on the world, I think I understand where you're coming from. At least I think I do  |

Sweetheart: Nope, he doesn't need to take it all from you but I guess I shall never understand in a million years why some seem to suffer more than most...maybe it's because he thinks you can deal with it, or maybe it's because he thinks you can teach about an ilness that can cause so much sorrow...I honestly don't know but I wish I did! Big HUSG to you and the little one and of course your daughter, his mother.. Why do I feel so helpless, cause I'd have his injections and make him laugh, well, one look at my face..*g* Sorry Nan, I waffle when I don't know what to say.. Yesterday is but today's memory and tomorrow is today's dream... |

Thank you, my dear friends... Jake is only five years old.... Both of my girls have been dealing with diabetes for some years... I can only pray now that Cassandra and Garrett can elude it...... |

Nan, dear friend, this is poetry at its finest. I admire it very much....as well as you. Rainbow....you're a waffle? To the world you might be just one person but to one person you might just be the world. |

Well, He certainly gave us all, Nan. I love this poem, sure flows beautifully.   As you know, I am a juvenile diabetic, also, I share your concerns with my children. Michael [This message has been edited by Michael (edited 12-13-1999).] |

Nan, your verse comes straight from the heart - and touches mine. I hope it all works out, I really do. |

Nan, I didn't respond to this at first because I didn't understand exactly what you were saying until other replies have cleared it up. My prayers are with you all. May your heart be full, your road be smooth, and your table always bountiful, a Penna. Dutch saying I wish for you. Liz |
