It's In The Card Nine years old now, it sits out all the time a pleasant little card, one that is just mine, a china doll on a seat, heirloom silk replete blackest hair and china shy-blue eyes on wicker stool, you can hear her sigh the card front's words, denoting memories a mother's recollection of echoes in the eve now she calls me special, like she did back then inside the card I'm her little girl no matter where, no matter when and in her Mom-scrawl, a running hand she notes I'll never realize [she still commands] how very proud she always was of me, her firstborn, and it gives me pause nine years gone, and these words still cause a tear. Nine years old now, it sits out all the time a pleasant little card, one that is just mine. ©Karilea Rilling Jungel 22 September, 2000 [This message has been edited by Sunshine (edited 09-22-2000).] |

Karilea~ Very tender, sweetie. I still get the same feelings when looking at my mother's lovely selection of cards and the beautiful poems she tucked inside. Thanks for sharing these special words with me. Love you and send heart hugs ! ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Karilea, You sure tugged some heart strings with this. Such a beautiful poem about such a treasured piece of life. I lost my Mom almost 18 years ago, and I still get misty when I see or read something she wrote. I love this, Bonnie |
