 ~*Marge Tindal*~ Tucked inside this chiffonier are bits and pieces of your past If only for this moment I try to make them last Little lacy lilac thoughts dressed in the fragrance of you Left in lingering remembrance Oh, mother ... what a lovely thing to do ! If only you had known I'd hold this diary so dear To read upon it's pages words you wanted me to hear Long before you knew me or held me to your breast You penned the stories daily that I've come to love the best Here in June, on page twenty three recording the love that was meant to be I'll wait for you forever, Jack If only the sea turns 'round bringing you back on waves of love no more will you be away Here within my arms, my love forever and a day -Beverly How softly your thoughts read it's as though you surely knew I'd find the comfort that I might need through gentle words from you Almost enough for tonight, Mother my heart with remembrances blessed Keeping you in my thoughts I close the book and close the chest ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

"How softly your thoughts read it's as though you surely knew I'd find the comfort that I might need through gentle words from you" Fortunate is the one who can look back with inspiration and guidance through the words of those they love. What a beautiful, lovely gift Marge, much enjoyed.  Best wishes, /Kit |

I've always saved things that meant something to me for my children, kept diaries hoping someday my children would want to read them and perhaps gain something from them. After reading this I no longer fear that my work will go un-read. Beautiful work, I loved it. |

Haunting in a positive and surreal way... And even more so when you consider that those extremely personal inspirations of your mother's are now bequeathed to all of humanity through the miraculous wonder of technology known as the Internet... A very wholesome write, Marge, and a powerful tribute, too. -MVS "If you think you know it all, you have a lot to learn." |
