Memory Trace ~*Marge Tindal*~  Velveteen memories from roses kept within the heart of petals wept Falling quietly in soft surround Oh, to touch that velvet sound that years of passing cannot erase one red rose in memory trace sits forever in this heart's crystal vase I have held in my hand the beauty of the white, white rose and in my heart a sorrow. One will ne'er bloom again, and one will bloom tomorrow. Something so lovely from the garden, carrying freshness on it's bloom. Sadly given to one in repose, velvet petals of the white, white rose. Sent with spirits to that land where nevermore we hold their hand. Landing softly, I would suppose, the petals of the white, white rose. *Birthday thoughts of my mother Beverly W. Drury Cowart Adams March 31, 1925 - October 4, 1995 She would have liked this so much~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

Oh Marge ((hugs)) I missed this one. The last line seems so past tense, and I somehow feel she is liking this one! What an absolutely beautiful tribute to your Mother, and the presentation of looking like a rose in a vase, was of course your usual touch of elegance, that sets you apart. I bet the apple did not fall very far from the tree? Pretty special daughter to send this rose, and I am sure she is smiling. |

Mysteria~ Thank you for such a very sweet reply. She was elegance in every sense of the word. I know there are times that she surrounds me with her love from afar ... *Hugs* Vicky~ Oh ... how wonderful to see you ! I've missed you greatly, my friend. Take care dear one ... and please do call or at least drop me an e-mail line. I'm so pleased you dropped in on this one. And thanks for reminding me of my 'two angels'. I love you. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

Marge, the tears are flowing now, this is a beautiful tribute to her! I just know that she is in heaven, an angel looking down on her lil' Margie and smiling, so proud of such a lovely, kind-hearted woman, and I bet that she even reads your poetry and sheds a tear or two herself at the talent you posess! Hugs to you~ Here's a bouquet for you and your Mom  Take care, Melissa~ |

Truly a loving poem. How grateful we should be for our parents. Life is so truly short, regarless the color or rose appropriate to the occasion. Kiss the rose always. "I am not now that which I have been." |
