When Nighttime Comes
~*Marge Tindal*~

When nighttime comes to lay
across a sorrowed breast,
in heaving sobs that will not let
the tired body rest.
I will take your tears,
hold them until dawn,
where they will dissipate
upon the rise of sun.
Gently I will hold your soul-shedding
until all your fears allay.
Come sweet friend,
take my hand,
let us face the new day.
Remembering perchance a smile
before the tears began to fall
In softly remembered thoughts
when she was your all~

*For Jack Allen, in memory of Pat
Holding you in your sorrow~
Sharing with you in your faith~
December 18, 2001

This weeps with the sorrow.  This is beautiful.

On the wings of words our spirits fly....and our souls are free.

Margie girl you have a heart of gold. Wonderful work, and may peace and love shine on Jack.

Wonderful writing and such a blessing you are, to us all, and to me.


Love and warm stuff

There ought to be a Margie girl smilie, it would be the most popular smilie ever. I know what it would look like too, it would encompass joy, love and giving.

Marge...

What a wonderful friend you are. And what a beautiful tribute for your friend.

*My friends ... thank you ... I would ask that you take a moment to remember my cousin, Jack, in your prayers.
He lost the soul-mate of his life ...

Pat and Jack met in high school, married shortly thereafter and loved each other for 51 beautiful years~

She was such a lovely lady
and will be greatly missed by us all~

Thanking each of you for your prayers~
*Hugs*
