margaret

  My love was one
  Who made the birds sing!
  And in the depth of winter
  Could turn my thoughts to spring

  She was the ending of my day
  She shared first morning light
  And in between these lay
  The warm and loving night

  Sadly I turn from where she lays
  Leaving love, life , and all delight
  Weary and listless are my days
  Sad, cold, and lonely are my nights

(sad sigh) Oh Michael, this is so so heartbreaking yet so beautiful too! (sad sigh) My heart cries out to your lost love and I pray that soon you will again be embraced by such beautiful love like this. (big hugggsssssss) Sad but beautiful, sweet friend! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Michael, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

My heart goes out to you for the loss you have had to endure. I pray that the pain lessens with time and that again you may greet the sun with pleasure.

Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams.

So that you won't ever forget me.~

arthur - This was a lovely, enjoyable read. Chris

Life is not measured by breaths you take, but by moments that take your breath away.

Lovely tribute to her Michael. And I'm sure she is up above with a proud tear in her eye, as she reads what you have written for her. Take care.

If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please?
