The Winds......(for my Grandma who is not doing well) |

The Winds… A soul is lost most everyday A fragile hold to life’s parade Do they hear our silent cries? the winds become their guides I fear the going of one so dear It pains to hear my mothers tears I do not know of when she’ll fly Oh, Grandma please don’t make her cry… There’s nothing good about the end When death will claim another friend What is the purpose of ending life And the winds that carry a soul so bright The soul is but the winds to me Gone before their ever really seen A gust a breeze, and then its gone Beyond the earth where souls belong I pray that when that day is here Earth will shine with heavens tears And bring the warmest air from above, to carry our dearest on the winds of love. James Parker Haley.. (c) Oct 27, 2000. **For My Grandma, who is not doing too well.** [This message has been edited by Haleyja (edited 10-27-2000).] |

Parker~ This is a gentle, caring write. Prayers to lift your grandma are sent. The winds that carry a loved one home are found in the flutter of angels winging. Whenever the soft wind blows Listen ... you'll hear the angels singing. *Hugs* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

James, this is a very heartfelt and beautifully written poem. Unfortunitely, we just never know when we will be called home. However I know that when she goes to that better place, she will leave being very proud of you... In the light of love above... Souls of destiny in soft sunset blush Hearts awaiting wakening Beat for eternity in a humble hush In the light of love above Love, Marina It is a blessing to have wings for words, and passion in pen Marina Crossley |

Oh, I know this is so hard. I have one posted here way back, called Talks to the Angels, about my Grandma. She is not doing well either, but made quite a surprising recovery since I did that poem. You never know how strong they can be. I hope yours gets better, and stays with you longer. Mine is 93, and yet I don't think she is old enough to die. There is just never a time it's ok to lose someone so special. Take care. Sandra |

Such a touching poem. I can relate very well, both of my grandma's aren't doing well. One is 95 and the other 89, two very strong women very dear to my heart. Your wonderful Grandmother and you are in my thoughts and prayers. ~Kelly You can give without loving but you cannot love without giving There is no danger of developing eye-strain from looking on the bright side of things |

Martie, Marge, Vicky, SEA, Marina, serenity, Sandra, Kelly, Ron..... thank you all so kindly. You prayers are very welcome. I lost my other Grandma on Christmas day last year and I'm not ready to lose another one. She is in her late 80's and lives on a farm on the east coast of Canada that is also a home for the elderly. Its a wonderful place in a wonderful environment. Thank you all for your kind words, I hope this wind passes her by. Parker |

James I'm so terribly sorry to hear this, your poem touched me deeply and I feel greatly for you at such a time This my friend I share with you: A candle burns for you throughout the day and night Burning oh so brightly that you may find the light My wish is that this candle will always burn for you Burning flame of spirits to help guide you through Guide you to your next journey that awaits you in the light Your eternal peace and happiness Is now within your sight So a candle burns for you Flame flickering gently in the breeze God keep the candle burning that's all I ask...Please Love Tracie  Love is the life of the soul... It is the harmony of the universe |
