Going - Going - Never Really Gone ~*Marge Tindal*~  God was bidding on angels when her name came up that day. He said I'd like to have her come with me to stay. The finest qualities she possesses, the best of the lot, I see. I will bid until I win. Shari will live with me. She has a mother's heart that will be surely missed. The loving grandmotherly traits, on her grandchild's cheek, a kiss. She is the sister to brothers and sisters alike. I need her for an angel. I need her to take flight. Go and bring her to me. Let angels wipe her loved one's tears. Let them know she will return on memories for the rest of their years. I will dispatch her on the morning sun to lighten their hearts of woe. I'll send her again to lift them when they are feeling low. She will not really be gone, for in their hearts she will live. This is the Angel Shari, she will return to give. Going once, going twice, but never really gone. *With loving thoughts of my sister, Shari. Today is her birthday. I miss her. Happy Birthday, little sister. ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

Marge this is beautiful, yet sad in it's own way too, but to remember her as an angel is a special thing to do. I can tell she's always there beside you. |

Nurse C~ Thank you for your comforting words. The feelings are still so raw as she died just this past October. I have to find comfort in the memories she took the time to leave. The ~Angel Shari~ lives in my heart. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

I love it when I see people loving those no longer with us physically, in their rememberances. That is where our loved one's still live! |

Beautifully written and what a wonderful sister you are to remember her this way. Those we truly love never really leave us. They live on in the wonderful memories we have of them and the many ways they touched our lives. Such a great poem for your sister. |

Marge...those that live in our hearts are never gone. What a beautiful tribute to your sister and if she were anything like you, I'm sure she lives on in the hearts of all who knew her. (((((HUGS)))))  [This message has been edited by hoot_owl_rn (edited 03-08-2000).] |

I have looked forward to reading another one of your poems and although I thought I knew what to expect I was once again wrong...you far exceeded my hope of a touching poem, I will never again make the mistake of putting boundries on your talent as I see you have not done either. Thank you for reaching for the heavens....you are an amazing writer. |

Martie~ Thanks, love. God I hope so ! I needed that hug. ButterfliesDC~ I thank you for your comments on what I write. Don't know any other way to do it, but straight from the heart. I'm glad to know it was perceived that way. David~ The heart of this lady needed that kind of understanding today. I think the 'gift' is in having blessed with people who touched my life. It's been a day mixed with emotions. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |
