A Gift of Forever |

A Gift of Forever A small delicate box Wrapped in Christmas paper and delicate lace She takes it to hand Pale and drawn, is her distraught face. The last gift to be opened Grief has pierced a hole through her heart And anger never holds any answers We can’t choose when, our loved ones will depart Unwrapped, and held tight in her hand A perfect shimmering gold chain A floating heart, its companion For one brief moment there is nothing but pain As her eyes well to tears There is a card she must read Trying to collect herself She struggles for the breath, she needs The words were as clear as crystal That swirled in her head A message so perfect And this, is what it said A heart with wings Will float back and forth forever Though you may never see me For eternity we shall be together Remember me as I was Happier times like the pictures in the hallway Think of me, my love For I shall think of you….always Marina May 1 2000 It is a blessing to have wings for words, and passion in pen Marina Crossley [This message has been edited by Marina (edited 06-29-2000).] |

Marina, If Butterfly reads this, surely she shall cry. Going to trade for some eye drop, since people will be needing it to replenish their supply. Jamie ps the only reason I mention this is because it will probably be in the book.. (should the word pieced be pierced? Great Love Poem. Tu ne cede malis, sed contra audentior ito. - Virgil. "Yield thou not to adversity, but press on the more bravely". |

Beautiful Marina!! Yes, I am here, but I am dead, not alive, my body goes on, my spirit has died and I though alive, feel dead inside. "Rose Petal" |

Very well done! There are so many wonderful poets at this place, I am discovering, yourself as one. Got my vote. But edit out some of the commas, there are a few that are unnecessary. |

James, thank you my friend. But you still don't have a sense of humour!! LOL  Heather, thank you. I do believe that also. James, I do hope that is a compliment. LOL I will pass you a kleenex!! Vamporous One, thank you very much for that compliment and the vote. Perhaps not all the commas are necessary. Thanks again.
