Whispers With Anne ~*Marge Tindal*~  I cowered in whispers within the confines of the darkness. Clung to the others crowded in fear. Let my heart whisper the prayers, I couldn't say out loud. Offered others my tears to quench their thirst. Aspiring to be a writer - in the someday that never came. Looked fear and death squarely in the eye ... and prayed again. My God finally heard our prayers. He took us home to be with Him ... Before the gases from the chambers of death snatched us from life, we whispered our tears so that generations to come wouldn't have to. Oh, God ... have mercy. Their tears are my tears. Help me to shout ... so they won't ever be forgotten. Stirred again by the reading of 'The Diary Of Anne Frank' *A loving remembrance to the victims of the Holocaust* ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

Yisrael Adonai Elohenu Adonai Ehchad (Hear, O Israel, the LORD our God is one LORD) we are killed for land and faith, our blood runs red, a river of shame. We who seek peace for ourselves break and scatter. Gentle treatment of history and people. ~ Shalom, Julian. "I am not now that which I have been." |

This is so heart-wrenching Marge. I have read the Diary of Anne Frank several times. I understand they are making a new movie presently, about her life. Betty Lou Hebert |

BettyLou~ Thank you for reading and remembering. I'm not sure I could watch this child's life portrayed ... so sadly tragic were those events in history. Karilea~ To have lived such a short life - she certainly left us a legacy to remember. Thank you, friend. Joyce~ Her life sure is worth remembering~ I hope we never allow such tragedies to take place again. *Hugs* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

Marge, I honestly have to say that this is some of your best writing. I've read her story many times and you've captured her well. Excellent, my friend. Michael Proust- |
