My aunt who died Almost two weeks ago Came home today To her final resting place In a small wooden box Filled with her ashes And when I heard the news I felt the shiver Over the miles From Florida to Maryland Of her spirit Settling in. My uncle has decided To keep her in the family home On the coffee table In the TV room Never more will she roam But be Home Sweet Home. God Bless you Aunt Mari, you were a inspiration to me when it came to seeing how to love a man...I know you loved yours till death you did part... Rest In Peace |

Thank you one and all for your thoughts... her memorial service was today, due to family stresses, we did not go...however I heard from my mom that the little wooden box went to the service too..anyone have any experince like this? I'm starting to think my uncle is going to take her ashes everywhere he goes...creepy! Nan, make sure you burn a good "memory" into that candle...LOL |

My Lorelei has the most tender heart of anyone I know. She loves completely, from her soul. She is only now learning about meter and rhyme, but when she writes what is in her heart, it is incredible. I love this poem because she wrote it so cleanly and it is pure poetry, written without the need to show anything other that what she is.. a loving and gentle person who fills my life with such a deep satisfaction that it sometimes overwhelms me. This is a great poem, lil Lorelei. |
