The Bucket Of Joy ~*Marge Tindal*~ Sir created ~ A spirit with hair lit with the golden rays of the sun Within her heart He placed the song of a child taken from the very throat of the nightingale For the crowning touch to this beauty upon her face He placed a smile She glowed ~ He gave her a vase to gather the lovely flowers of the meadow He gave her a bucket full of joy and bade her to live happily upon the days of the earth He smiled ... and it was good Years passed ~ He found her sitting all alone in the meadow where she'd been created No smile - no joy to call her own Child, what happened to the gifts I gave you You've nothing left to show She replied ~ Sir, I've traveled far from this meadow to lands where sorrow weeps I felt so blessed that I gave away all the gifts you'd have me keep Meekly she said ~ I had more sunshine than I needed I shared some with a friend who was down My smile was badly needed on the face of a friend who wore a frown Tearfully she continued ~ On the grave of a soldier whose widow wore a brave face I placed lovely flowers from the meadow in a tiny crystal vase Wistfully she remembered ~ To a crying child needing slumber I gave my finest song a voice Nightingale would be proud of the hushed lullabye of choice Humbly ~ I gave away almost all of the blessings that you sent my way And yet, Sir, I feel richer than I was on that beginning day Hopefully ~ But, Sir, I still have the bucket It has held the tears of many Sometimes they overflow the brim and sometimes there's not any Smiling ~ When I think that I have received all that my bucket can hold Someone sends to me a smile, a flower, a song A ray of sunlight dancing straight across my soul Sir sighed ~ Thy name is Joy Sir wept ~ Joy caught His tears in her bucket ~On today's date, November 6, I've been at Passions for three years I hope that I've touched someone ... somewhere with something I've written. I came with only my poetic words ... you accepted them as part of my heart ... and welcomed me into yours~ ~Thank you for three wonderful years of sharing the friendships of the circle~ ~*~ This little piece is among my favorites of my writes ... Those of you here continually fill my Bucket Of Joy ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

Marge~ Are you sitting down?  YES...it's REALLY me! LOLYou already 'know' that this is one of my very favorites of yours too. It touches me deeper than I can put into words, and just squeezes my heart. I, for one, am extremely glad that you stopped by 3 years ago, and decided to stay. You've been a great friend and a wonderful inspiration. Here's to 3 more years! Love and big hugs,  ~Vicky "...until you have read the verse on his heart, you have not truly met the poet. ~vlraynes [This message has been edited by vlraynes (11-06-2002 12:04 PM).] |

Three years ago a lady fair With poetry in her veins Joined Passions group and from her pen Poems began to rain. I admired her from the start But never could have guessed How dear a friend she'd come to be She's truly this life blessed. Buckets of joy she's given us, Such caring she has shown - Congratulations I offer To one of the finest people known! This poem is beautiful, Marge... and one of the many examples of you touching our lives as you gift us with your muses' bounty... and your own big heart. *S* Congratulations! |

Dear Marge: I have always loved this poem, although it is hard to pick a favorite from the tapestry of words you have created here and on other sites. Never doubt for a minute that you have made a difference in the life of one person. You have made a difference in the hearts and minds of thousands! No one knows how many! What a privilege it has been to get to know you and read your work! Love you Betty Lou Betty Lou Hebert |
