Catch A Memory ~*Marge Tindal*~ Catch that memory as it floats by Squeeze it Please it Wring it dry Play it Say it Cry it Don't just rush on by it Yours for the taking tears it will be making Cry 'em Shed 'em Dry 'em Spread 'em Now go on catch a memory as it floats past squeezing is pleasing until it's the last teardrop left within you to cry |

Marge, my friend- This is so beautiful, and so touching. Even though the memories are sometimes painful, we need them to survive; and without the pain, how are we to recognize and appreciate the happiness.  So good to see a new post from you. My thoughts and prayers continue to be with you, my friend. love and hugs, -vicky < !signature--> "...until you have read the verse on his heart, you have not truely met the poet." -vlraynes [This message has been edited by vlraynes (edited 10-07-2000).] |

"Cry 'em Shed 'em Dry 'em Spread 'em" I love this Marge! Each memory deserves our utmost attention, savour it and reach into the depths until spent ... only then, can we move on to the next. Beautiful writing Marge! Best wishes, /Kit [This message has been edited by Kit McCallum (edited 10-07-2000).] |

Marge~ You've said this perfectly and tenderly Memories are to be held and as tight as can be, never to be let go of. Without our memories we have nothing well written and said Love ya Marge Tracie~ Memories woven Memories spun Memories entwined into one ~~~ A lifetime of memories Bound an wrapped up tight Only to be opened In dead of night ~~~ When in the dark I need them to keep To warm me and give me The comfort I seek ~~~ My memories are all that I have To keep me alive Keep my soul soaring My heart beating in time ~~~ Memories woven, spun And entwined Locked and bound In the depth of my mind ~~~ Love is the life of the soul... It is the harmony of the universe |

Marge-A memory filled with all these feelings should be caught and chained to not be let go of. Very nicely done. |

Beautiful Marg! Exactly how I look at things. Feel 'em and let 'em go. There is always sweet mixed in with any bitter. Well said my friend. When you are old and grey and full of sleep, And nodding by the fire, take down this book, And slowly read, and dream of the soft look Your eyes had once, and of their shodows deep; How many loved your moments of glad grace, And loved your beauty with love false or true, But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you, And loved the sorrows of your changing face... William Butler Yeats |

Ah those precious memories Marge....and when you find yourself smiling through those tears, that's when we realize just how treasured the memories are. So much feeling, written as always, beautifully. Bonnie |

An old (I never knew her young) maiden aunt I had - (long since dead) would often quote a verse to me: When you get old and cannot see Put on your specs and think of me (And I do) - a Memory of her I treasure is laying in bed with her early sunday mornings - reading the funnies and listening to the 'Blue Rabbit Bus' on the radio... I must have been 7 or less |

Such strength in these words, Marge! Some memories come unbidden - the kind you resist because you don't want to recall, but they do have to come and you do have to cry. Well said, dear lady. Corinne |

Marge, what a wonderfully written memento. Memories come to us, we pick at them, we often cherish them, we store them away. They are like boomerangs, always returning. |

Marge this is marvellous a really beautiful poem. One of my favourite sayings, and I've no idea where it came from, is 'memories are the paints we use to colour in our lives' and it always reminds me of rainbows, a lovely piece of work Marge. I love this. Marsha  |
