When Cold The March Winds Blow ~*Marge Tindal*~  When cold the March winds blow across the chasms of recall I reach for smiles-of-remember from my angels of the fall~ Mother, Shari and Shelly angels you were, all three Birth-of-days come swimming 'round always reminding me So cold these days of winter when still the March winds blow Further from the distant longing before you had to go~ Nothing do I feel but this shearing, tearing wind seeping into the heart through the cracks where you've been I gather your memories around me snuggling deep-down inside the comfort of the smiles you left so these tears would not be cried~ And yet~ Tiny droplets fall pressing your memory once again into the very heart of me I would not want to forget you for you are each worth remembering smiles, tears and all~ And today I pray that the smiles outnumber the tears like you said they would ~*~ With such loving birth-of-day memories of Mother-March 31,1925 - October 4, 1995 Sister Shari - March 8, 1944 - October 7, 1999 Shelly Barr - March 10, 1962 - November 22, 1984 ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

Marge- My sweetest friend...this is absolutely beautiful and such a large piece of your heart. You know I felt every word of this as I read. Your angels will always be with you, and they are smiling down on you now. I love you~ ~Vicky "...until you have read the verse on his heart, |

Marge, I know this one is from the heart....tears are coming like rivers here....i don't know if it is from the beauity of the poem, the sharing of the feelings or the remberance of my own loved ones that have passed away...or maybe a combination of all...the fact is this touched me...very deeply...

Auntie Margie girl this is such a beautifully written and heart speaking poem, it’s as if the soul is being teased by memories too precious to let go but to painful to hold in the forefront of memory. So you wrap it in your heart and there it stays. Always with you but not always in that place of pain. Wonderful poem my favourite aunt this is excellent writing  Love and warm stuff As always Krissy And while thy willing soul transpiers |

*My friends~ Sometimes we must walk through the memories to know how blessed we are ... as I trudge through the difficult remember-days ... I also am comforted by knowing that I do not walk them alone ... with the warm outpouring of thoughts from each of you ... the going is made easier~ You all are such kind and considerate friends~ My life is fuller for having known each of you~ Vicky~  I just have to take a moment to give you another *hug* for the gentleness of your spirit that is always there for me (often before I even know I need you)~ You 'feel' my need, hear my tears and let me cry them freely ... while you hold me in your kindness and understanding ... giving unselfishly of yourself to comfort me~ I love you dearly ... may God keep you safe always~ *Hugs* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |
