Still a child, I was having a child And though you weren't conceived from love, You became my very life I swear by every power above. Love is shown in many ways Please, dear, always know The greatest gift I had to give Was loving enough to let go. Others got to share your life But you're held in my heart And heaven, to me, is just a place We'll unite to never part. The happiest days I've ever had Were those that I spent with you. Giving you up was the hardest thing I've ever had to do. I wanted a better life for you Than I could ever provide But there's a constant emptiness Without you at my side. On your special day and every day My thoughts fly to you I hope you hear my whispered words I loved you... and still do. For Little Chick from Mother Hen - October 29. I don't know if Cindy will see this or not... but I made her a promise long ago to remember. Any and all lack in this poem is from the pen, not from the heart... I wanted the love here waiting for her if she does get to drop in. *S* |

This masterpiece from your heart will touch all very deeply who will be blessed to read it. Love means doing the right thing even though the hurt is more than we can bear and you show in this poem the greatest love that can be shown. My heart goes out to you. Thank you, so much, for sharing this poem with me. Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams. |

Suthern, A lovely poem that will ride the waves of time. And may float until it reaches her heart. *L* [This message has been edited by Seymour Tabin (edited 10-29-2001).] |

This is even more beautiful than "an angel remembers"..:-) Thank you for your promise but more so for your continued love, it's rare in this world. I did my usual and went and laid some flowers by the stream, every flower represented a year of her life but also for all of the memories, people like yourself have given me when sharing Rachel with you. Love you MotherHen Big HUSG Don't ask me where I'm going, just listen when I'm gone and far away you'll hear me singing softly to the dawn. |

Sunshine, Janet Marie, and Seymour: Thank you all very much. *S* I appreciate you keeping this from sinking for a while. *S* Startime: Thank YOU. *S* And you're right... when you love someone, you want the very best for them... no matter how many tears wet your pillow. *S* jellybeans: Loyal friends are life's greatest gifts... thank you... love you, too. *S* RainbowGirl: I read your poem from last year earlier today and imagined you near a stream with a bouquet of lovely roses... and was so hoping you'd know our love is with you, whether you visited PIP today or not. *S* I'm glad you're here... glad you like. *S* Big HUSG... and whole heaps of love... today and always.

You are a true and constant friend to do this for her. And the poem is so heartbreakingly lovely. |

Penned with love, this will surely find its way to her heart, though you may never know when it happens. "Love is shown in many ways Please, dear, always know The greatest gift I had to give Was loving enough to let go" |

Belle - This poem really moved me, as I, too, have been blessed with knowing the incomparablly wonderful Cindy. Thanks for writing this poem. You are all class (and to keep you from deprecating this compliment as you so often do other compliments), that class is "First Class Wonderful Lady." |
