Angels In White ~*Marge Tindal*~ I have heard the song of the Women In White Sung o'er campfires in the night Honored far beyond compare for the hearts that they did wear Within the hearts of soldiered men The Women In White still comfort them Years gone by yet in the still of night A woman still appears dressed in Nurse's angelic white Upon her chest many medals hang bright The hearts of all the men she comforts an Angel dressed in Nurse's White Dedicated to Gladys Mae - mother of Irish Rose And to all the nurses who gallantly tended the soldiers of all wars. ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

WONDERFUL poem, and a great tribute, Marge... Regards, sudhir Hey you, out there in the cold, Getting lonely, getting old, can you feel me? Hey you, standing in the aisle, With itchy feet and fading smile, can you feel me? Hey you, don't help them to bury the light. Don't give in without a fight. Hey you, out there on your own, Sitting naked by the phone, would you touch me? Hey you, with your ear against the wall, Waiting for someone to call out, would you touch me? Hey you, would you help me to carry the stone? Open your heart, I'm coming home.... by Roger Waters (Pink Floyd) - The Wall |

Sudhir~ Thank you ... they deserve all the recognition we can give them. PoetdeVine~ Thanks, hon. It would not be my profession of choice either ... but thank God for those that have answered it's call. Goodness knows the men in the wars thought they were angels indeed. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Marge - a truly beautiful poem - I was struck more, though, this time, by the remembrance of "Is Anybody Out There" - forgive me - I must speak to Sudhir - Sudhir Iyer- Bringing me Pink Floyd's anguish hit me like a brick in the chest. Don't get me wrong - I love Roger Waters' poetry - but it's so filled with pain - it brings me to my own any time of the day or night. Yes, it is so appropriate, for this wonderful lady who nursed the injured and dying in the war. Thank you for remembering a man whose acute lyrics will never be forgotten. ~ ~ ~ The spiritual wind that holds survivors aloft, plants the seeds from which bloom new hope ... R.J.G. |

You caught me with "Irish Rose" the song, the person, my wife, the vino... kinda hit home. Mom loved her wine and could she/we ever sing over the campfires in starry's night. I still can't play much of the things we used to... But I can surely see the white. Very nice and welcome to dreams in passions. SIGH..! |

Irish Rose is fortunate to have a friend in Marge for with her wit and honored words she shares her world so large... for there are those who should be honored by the fortunates ones, the "we" so Marge, a tip of my quill to you for the wisdom I see in thee.< !signature--> Sunshine ~~~Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see the shadow.

I appreciate you, my friend. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |
