Those golden days of yore dance through my mind Like autumn leaves that swirl in gentle breeze I drift along back to those days so kind My soul yearns once again fair days as these. A symphony performs soft in my heart Its rhapsody enthralls me unto tears Fine melodies will always play their part And trill to me those lovely bygone years. Thanksgiving Day has rolled around again We'll gather close, give thanks for all He gave Yet think I will of days so happy when I didn't have to stand beside your grave. Then as I kneel to place some flowers there Again I'll thank Him for your love so rare. In Loving Memory Of My Mother and Father ------------------ Denise [This message has been edited by dsnyder (edited 11-17-1999).] [This message has been edited by dsnyder (edited 11-18-1999).] |

Severn, Robert, Hoot and Elizabeth, thank you for reading and commenting. I wanted to write something for them, to make them a part of the season for me. I'm sorry if it came across as sad or depressing. I didn't mean for it to be that way. Thanks again for your lovely comments. ------------------ Denise |

Denise, beautiful. Like you, I set a place at the memory table for my parents, mindful that the traditions I celebrate originated with them. ------------------ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

Ok...I cried when I read this. Absolutely beautiful! We should all take this year to remember those we used to share our table with and as we pass into the new millennium, make a vow to have at least one NEW face at our table next year. Invite a friend, a coworker, a neighbor or a stranger from your church that otherwise would be alone. Expand your family! Thank you, Denise, for a wonderful poem!  |

Denise, this is very sad, but beautiful. Well done. ------------------ Thinking is just what a great many people think they are doing when they are merely rearranging their predjudices. |

Poet deVine- What a lovely idea! I was just thinking that today! I have to work this Thanksgiving so perhaps next year I can invite someone to share the day! What a sweet loving idea! Thanks for your kind comments also. I'm glad you liked it! Sys- Thank you for your sweet comments! ------------------ Denise |

Denise, you never fail to bring tears to my eyes. When I read this, I couldn't help but to think about having to spend this Thanksgiving without my Grandfather. Beautiful poem, written by a beautiful soul. |

Thank you, Lynn, you are so sweet! I know it's hard, but time, they say, heals all wounds. (it's just the waiting for the healing that hurts.) ------------------ Denise |
