Grandma's Legacy ~*Marge Tindal*~  I have Grandma to thank for the legacy of tenderest attention placed in the youth of me Under such loving tutelage she graced within my mind pleasure-measured rhyme At every chance of think she placed a memory in my well of ink ~*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

Well if that was not the cutest and truest thing I ever read I don't know what is! I got my interest in poetry and rhyme from my Gramma too. Oh Marge this was just too dear, and I adore the poetry and form of this one. If you have but one true friend when you die you were truly blessed |

Ah Marge .... lovingly penned in sweet sentiments. The same could be said of my grandfather. Many a happy memory was on his knee with animated stories, poetry and fantasies to delight my youth. Much enjoyed my friend!  Best wishes, /Kit |

Marge, I think we all apreciate your Grandma and her legacy. With me it was my Grandpop who wrote and I am always grateful to him for teaching me. Dee I wish you every happiness and may you always have the best of the good things in life. a brand |

Marge: What a dear picture and poem. Is that really your grandmother in the photo? My maternal grandmother was a very talented poet and understood poetic forms so well. She wrote prolifically and I have some of her work in her own hand, which I treasure. Betty Lou Hebert |

Dee~ Thanks love~ Do ya' suppose that's why they call the GRAND ? They are, aren't they ? BettyLou~ It isn't my grandmother, but I have a photo of her that looks very much like it - but is too fragile to remove from the frame for scanning. I felt so fortunate to find that one on the web ! Thank you. *Hugs* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |
