One More Chance ~*Marge Tindal*~ This one is so easy and I can tell you why My 'thing to do' would be to kiss my children one more time before I die~ My mother passed in the mid-of-night and though I'm sure she knew I didn't have the chance to say, one more I love you ~ One more kiss to send her on her beyond trip One more goodbye forever sealed within my lips~ One more chance to say what I know I'd said before But, one more chance ... just one more chance ... Is a moment I would have implored~ So each day I try to honor her with the impact she had on me For without her love I would not have been the poet of me ~ ~Dedicated to the beautiful memory of my mother~ Beverly W. Drury Adams March 31, 1925 - October 4, 1995 ~*~ Following a challenge left by Paladin, I felt this piece would serve as my Mother's Day tribute~ His challenge can be found here - /pip/Forum7/HTML/000439.html ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] [This message has been edited by Marge Tindal (05-08-2002 03:33 AM).] |

great minds think alike..my new post deals with the same subject but from as different direction the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost |

I just read Pegasus' poem and then yours. They were much alike in theme but you put a happier spin on yours. Yes we would all like to have one more chance. But we learn to make the best of it while we can. Very nice Marge. Love, Joyce |

My mother passed in the mid-of-night ditto... I wish I would have stayed longer that night. But, I feel as though she waited until she was alone. Thanks, Melton |
