The wheel has turned You're traveled on To a different plane To a different zone Those left behind Somewhat perplexed The heart does grieve While the soul rejoices Left behind to stumble on Without your smile Without your song Selfishly we wish you here Yet you've moved along To honor you This is our vow To live our lives As you would wish Smile with joy When we hear your name And be at peace For you still remain. In loving memory of my aunt, who has left us to travel on..... For you who had so much to do with who and what I am today....I miss you so..... Pepper "A poem is the very image of life expressed in its eternal truth." Percy Bysshe Shelley |

Hey pepper! It's good to see you around here again! I'm sorry to hear about your loss, but she is definitely in a better place! Wonderful write, my friend. sp  I won't go; I won't sleep; I can't breathe until you're resting here with me... |

Pepper, I've missed you love, this is a brilliantly written poem. It is so hard to think of but I know as surely as today will become tomorrow, that she is with you always. Whenever you think of her she is there. I send you my love and my smile, and many warm hugs to you. It does ease, it's not that you forget but that the memories you hold are so precious. take care of yourself love Mushy Marsha Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |

peppermint, Many of us have felt a loss such as yours. All you can do is hang on to those memories that remain my friend. My prayers are with you at this difficult time. LW Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats |

My heart goes out to you for your pain and loss...her light will continue to shine as long as your heart beats on...may you find comfort in the gifts she left behind for you to hold. Take care of you and yours Pepper...and give that new grand baby a squeeze for me |
