Still Remembered This room, the very spirit of it’s host The antique bed with tall hand whittled post The wallpaper with tiny floral print A tin box filled with favorite peppermint A jewelry case with heirlooms of the past Her mirrors gleam the tiny floral cast As though her garden’s spread across the room Resisting outdoor darkening and gloom On slanted roof I hear the falling rains Her scent of lilac subtly remains On linens and on pillows puffed with down And on her silky robe and summer gown The drawers are filled with treasures all her own Small trinkets I recall as I have grown How can I now disrupt this lovely place Profuse with mothers warmth and charming grace I curl up on her warming bed and weep Until her comfort cradles me to sleep Elizabeth Santos |

SweetLizzie~ 'The drawers are filled with treasures all her own Small trinkets I recall as I have grown How can I now disrupt this lovely place Profuse with mothers warmth and charming grace' Touching the sweetest of memories here ... Her fragrance lingers ... and I breathe her in~ Thank you, sweet poetess. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

never forgotten. . . Liz, I know that I've said it before, but, if I ever write even half as superbly as you do when I grow up, than I shall be truly blessed. . .  ----------------------------------------------------------- To the world, you may only be one person. But to one person, you may be the world. |

Pretty. I do hope you can always find a place to feel that comfort... Time flies? Say it not so, time stays we go. |

Thank you all so kindly for your remarks. THis happened when I was 27 (long, long ago) and I still miss her very much. It was so hard dismantling her room. It was a special place Liz |
