Unforgettable


~*By Melissa Honeybee*~

Phyllis of my heart
unforgettable angel
now heaven's treasure
memories of you flicker
somewhere in my broken heart


*Dedicated to my Grandma, Phyllis*

"Unforgettable
in every way,
unforgettable,
though near or far...."

This is lovely, Melissa. I feel the same way about my grandfather, who has been gone nearly 30 years. It is great to keep those memories alive.

To love another person is to see the face of God.

Oh, Melissa...I am weeping as I read this and listen to one of my favorite songs and remember how I loved my Nanny and miss her so. She was so wonderful and loved me so. I join you in the comfort that we were so blessed to have the gift of wonderful grandmothers. Thank you so much for this beautiful and tender gift to your precious Phyllis. Love, Ellie

A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails.

Simply beautiful.
Great tanka!

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily
