What If They Could…? What if your loved ones could come back for one day? What if? What would you say? Of course, you would say ~~~ Welcome back! We've missed you so! We love you! Don't ever go! ~~~ tears would flow…. But don't you see? The most lovely thing that person could hear to bring them back, close and near, would be those words ~~~ "I forgive" "I love you" "I will remember" "I understand" and that would indeed make their pilgrimage smooth. Validate the lives ~~ validate life! Make them glad you were their husband or wife. Make them pleased you were their friend. Make them gratified they know life without end. ~~~ What if they could? ©Karilea Rilling Jungel 14 September 2000 [This message has been edited by Sunshine (edited 09-22-2000).] |

What an interesting question this poses!! What, indeed, would one say? and why didn't we say it while the person was still alive? This one makes me think....thanks, Sunshine  |

Thank you for reminding me to tell my family that I love them while they're still around. Very beautifully written. |

Karilea~ And they do ... and it is as you say ... The moments are so full ... Pleased to have you share this one - Are you perhaps feeling my spirit in your thoughts as well ? I think so. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Lot's of what if(s) so maybe the more did you know(s) that we put out there then you think possibly would could not have so many of the what if(s). Time to stand up and start sharing how we all feel in this world I think. Lovely write. |

Karilea, I've read a bit of your work tonight and this one has really touched me. It's comming up for two years since I lost my Dad and I think these words so often. Thanks for reminding me to talk to the rest of my family. Dee |

This has touched me as well. It serves as a reminder for us all to tell our loved ones how we feel, and that those who have passed on still travell with us. "The heart and soul have no illusion of boundries when friendship is the quest" ~ My Angel. |
