Dusted In The Talcum Of Keeping ~*Marge Tindal*~ Please, dear Mother, do not cry Sing me sweet in lullabye Nestle me close at breast of thee Cradle me through eternity Release no tear in eye of weeping I am your angel ~ soundly sleeping Hum me soft in measured note Remembered thoughts ~ sweet mother's dote Dusted in the talcum of keeping I am your angel ~ soundly sleeping ~o~ Dedicated to my friend, Rosemary Gwaltney ~For all the lullabies you sing~ 12/12/2000 ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

Ah Marge. You forgot the hanky warning...she will love it... Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |

Oh, Marge - this is an exquisite poem - filled with love! Dale knew it was here, but he never told me! I didn't see this until now! He thought I had seen. I am immensely touched by all of you who care, and immeasurably moved by your empathy. Thank you all! [This message has been edited by Rosemary J. Gwaltney (edited 12-14-2000).] |

Is there no end to your beautiful heart? I do believe that God knew what he was doing when he gave you that oversized ticker of yours. This was beautiful my friend and I for one can think of no-one better to hold the tears of one that needs the tenderness and love that you show. A life with love will have some thorns, but a life without love will have no roses. author unknown |

Oh, Marge, I read this over and over, and tears creep around the edges, for I have never had much in the way of sympathy. People have almost always had the attitude of "well, you ASKED for it, after all!" So your care means more to me than I could ever express! Imagine comfort for me! (I do have sympathy from my darling husband! But the general world does not really care, except in here!) But thank you, my dear friend, for this "message" from my precious babies. You have one of the warmest hearts I have ever seen. |

JWesley~ Thank you for hearing the lullaby. Rosemary~ Darling lady~ On little wings of angelic sighs this message was sent through me - to you. I am but the messenger of remembered songs. Believe me, Rosemary~ your precious babies hum your lullabies. *Hugging you with the sharing of love* Love and blessings sweetie. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |
