(a repost from #6) Mirror I look into the mirror and see the eyes of my father The hard lines, the blackness the joys, and the sorrows that were his as I gaze I come to understand I feel his love, his purpose his life and his pain and I know he walks with me "The heart and soul have no illusion of boundries when friendship is the quest" ~ My Angel. |

Eagle One, I admire the simplicity and conversational qualities of this wonderful piece. Really nice, without being overly dramatic or saccharine. Lovely work. ~ Claire Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?......Henry David Thoreau |

Very moving write and your love for him shows. I am sure he knew of your love for him and you honor him as well as yourself in this piece. [This message has been edited by Mark Bohannan (edited 09-03-2000).] |

Janet......You know how I feel about being able to bring a smile to someone, I'm glad i could do that for you. Your reply speaks volumes also, I thank you my friend. Butterfly......You, more than any other, know my heart. I thankyou for your understanding. I think the only thing harder than being a father is being a Mother. Take care! Mark, Dee, paula...apologies for not responding individually, I am a little emotional and lost for words just now. Know that your replies have touched me and that I do appreciate your time and your comments. Thankyou! "The heart and soul have no illusion of boundries when friendship is the quest" ~ My Angel. |

Eagle One, I'm bumping this glorious piece to the front. I think it got lost in the good humor hilarity, but it needs a second read. Be well Kethry "It is the image in the mind that links us to lost treasures; but it is the loss that shapes the image, gathers the flowers weaves the garland."- |
