This will be my last post until after my surgery February 14th. 3:30 I wish you all my best. I’m just under to much pressure and there’s so much left to do the weight and pain has become more than I wish to tell. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ state of affairs in my rhymes and each and every time I've read or hung on lines with you was it just my imagination or am I still an empty one who lingers onward once or twice in loneliness I watched my words go by where I’d been all too many times & miles beyond too where you might say some luck was in a way a little over due after all I hadn’t any alibis and couldn’t see any Seattle sky’s not long ago as I remember once upon a dark & windy night my love glowed in dying embers along shores of memories flight I just kept somehow moving on ward inward I gave up ever trying to remember all I’d left undone it was a sorry state of affairs and no one really cared or remembers anyway and I couldn’t blame ‘em they were just so darn busy... I think it was December and it didn’t even snow . Writing isn't just something I do, it's something I am. To write of feelings that touch all hearts in some manner is my delight. -Marge Tindal [This message has been edited by lucky (edited 02-07-2001).] |

I agree with Paula on the last lines. I was so surprised as the poem began to really open up. I liked it alot. What a day to have surgery, Valentine's Day. May your heart be filled with love before, during and after. The best to you and prayers, too, for you. |

Sad, sad, honey you put every kind of emotion into words so well! I especially love the ending, "... I think it was December and it didn’t even snow" - beautiful way to describe ... it will be okay, sweetheart, I just know it! I'll be right there, praying. You're in God's hands, and He holds you gently. . The spiritual wind that holds survivors aloft, plants the seeds from which bloom new hope ... R.J.G. |

You dear man. You and Rosemary have always been kind in responding to my poetry and keeping me in your thoughts when I was down. I'll be thinking of you and sending you some prayers. Hurry back to us! You two have always been an inspiration to me. "This above all-ask yourself in the stillest hour of your night:MUST I write? Delve into yourself for a deep answer.
