When A Band-Aid Won't Do Anymore ~Marge Tindal~ Why use a bandage when a Band-Aid will do? This heart isn't so wounded that the hurt shows through. It's such a tiny wound, a teensy laceration on my heart. Surely a Band-Aid will patch it up, until I locate a new part. A little cut. A little repair. A little Band-Aid, to cover the tear. It's no wonder my heart didn't mend. It's covered with Band-Aids, from end to end. Now it's major surgery, and it causes me to rant ... forget the stupid Band-Aids ! I need a HEART TRANSPLANT !  ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

This is so cute, Marge!! And contains a great message as well!! Love it! Denise And slight is the sting of his trouble Whose winnings are less than his worth; For he who is honest is noble, Whatever his fortunes or birth.~~~Alice Cary, ~Nobility~ |

Throw away those band-aids because help is on the way I can mend that aching heart that you have on display. You don't need a tourniquet or bandages because Every day is Christmas and I am your Santa Gauze.  |

I wish that it was an easy thing to mend something that can't be seen to wrap it in a cotton cloud and keep it tucked in moon beam's shroud light and life across the night would keep it safe from lovers strife If only bandaids could stop the strain of a broken heart that feels the pain You are so inspired Marge, and such an inspiration! |

I think, you don't need a new heart You're so soft and sweet, you're of a special Art Wounds we all have, those to heal Friends we are, we feel what you feel Here is a big hug to easy the pain Fresh blood will now run through your vein and if that won't do well (blush) here is a kiss and hug for you Well written your poem, but wait Nice picture there...the package of band-aid Hope your spirit remains, don't be afraid you don't need a band-aid The ability to describe life with words is similar to painting a picture; both can be powerful tools. |

Helmut Becker- How sweet of you. Why it's thoughts like that that pull a gal through. The poem was inspired by a friend of mine ... who, herself, writes a pretty good rhyme. My heart is in good shape, for the shape it's in ... and it just got better, with a hug and a kiss from a friend. *Thank you ! -------------------------------------------- Elizabeth, my friend- Blame it on Martie, she inspired me this time. Then look what she did she wrote one that rhymed ! *Aren't we just the luckiest people on earth to have such great inspirational friends in our lives? YEP ! ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

Very cute! I really enjoyed this one! The band-aid idea puts a hilarious streak on grief, which is very hard to do in a poem! You pulled it off excellently! |

Marge: After reading all those kind things our friends said about your "Bandaid" poem, and that I wholeheartedly agree with, I can only add one thing: you seem to be able to get the best out of people's hearts with your poetry. I once read somewhere, that if a poem evokes a smile, dries a tear, it has fulfilled it's task. This one does. Willem [This message has been edited by Willem (edited 01-16-2000).] |

First_Knight- Have missed you for a couple of days. All okay? Glad you're here. Thanks, friend. Rosemary- Well, my friend ... thank you sooooo much. Hope everyone has a box of Band-Aids handy. You KNOW I appreciate you ! Willem- What a wonderful way of saying what you said. You've sure made this lady feel GOOD about dispensing smiles or drying a tear. I simply write FROM my heart and maybe that's what REACHES other hearts. You just made my day ! Thanks.

Ive come to realize band-aids don't work myself!! Great poem! ~*~ ^i^ ~*~ Love is such a lonely art, and death is but a taste. Minds are merely instruments that often go to waste! ~*~ ^i^ ~*~ |

Marge: I've got this vision in my head now of thousands of people with band aids on... HUGS Don't ask me where I'm going, just listen when I'm gone and far away you'll hear me singing softly to the dawn. |
