Every Once-In-A-Smile
~*Marge Tindal*~

O' every once-in-a-smile
you return to my voice as laughter
Forgetting for just a moment
that you're not here
I chuckle clear to the rafters

The fun we had - and the joy we shared
are memories wrapped in a wealth of treasure
Remembering you, little friend of my heart
is such familiar pleasure

Times when I am missing you most
you return for just a while
All you were comes home to me
every once-in-a-smile



*Remembering a friend who promised
to leave more smiles than tears~
And she did ...
Michelle  'Shelly'  Lynette Barr
March 10, 1962 - November 22, 1984

Marge:  A beautiful, heart-felt write.  It's so sad losing a friend and leaves a big empty spot.  How treasured are the memories!

Working on those smiles of remembrance myself these days, so I loved this one Marge.  Special friends make the funniest chuckles of all.

Marge....I can't read all the post on Passions, but there are a few people I read everything they write.   Yours are among them.  I always come away with a misty eye or a smile.  This one produced both.  God Bless, Dan

Death comes not when we cease to breathe, but when we cease to dream.

Mysteria~
Thanks.  I do thank God for the smiles she left with me~

Dan~
What a sweet reply of sincerity~
I appreciate it more than you could know.

Shelly gave me a good supply of tears to share in her short lifetime ... but one of her promises was that the smiles would outnumber the tears ... and eventually they have~
*Hugs* to you sweet sir~

Marge-
   This is such a sweet and tender remember...
  
    "All you were comes home to me
          every once-in-a-smile"


   And so it should be...remembering in smiles.  
   I LOVE YOU~
   Hugs,

That's how we should remember all our friends, 'in a smile'.

Lovely verse you wrote sweet friend
In a smile I'll remember all those who went
Only you could write such beauty in rhyme
I'll smile at you now, so I won't waste time
