I think of my sister this time of year Gail was born the first day of spring she died when she was twelve years old came into the world on a robin’s wing She had Alice in wonderland hair witty and pretty and sweet I remember changing her diaper I remember kissing her little feet I was only twelve when she was born the same age she was when she died my daughter was born a year before a comfort to me as I cried Life is but a merry-go-round a carousal of life and death not knowing when heaven bound I loved her till her last breath She died on a hot summer day it was the last day of July but God works in mysterious ways as the wings of time go by It was always a very sad day until I met my girlfriend Sharon her birthday is the thirty first of July now a special day for me in the sun "Mistakes are the portals of discovery." -- James Joyce [This message has been edited by Victoria (03-15-2002 10:07 PM).] |

Oh Victoria dear, so sad this is. It is most difficult to lose a loved one. And she was so young, I am sure you think of her often. This poem is a wonderful tribute to her, with her beautiful hair. floria Floria |

(kiss on cheek) God Bless You, sweet friend, we all love you so much, this is sad but gorgeous! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Victoria, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

oh Geez, Vic.....this is the truest slice of life: our family. This is the type of poetry that touches me deeply: when good poets like youse, write about their loves and loses of family. I am sorry you have had to endure this agony for these years. Never forget, tho, never stop loving even when kisses can only be mere whispers. Just a lovely poem, Vic! Jeff |

Victoria - Such a very sad and moving poem. The 31st of July is actually when my birthday is as well. I am truly sorry it is such a sad reminder of your sister. Being someone who has two brothers and a sister, I know how tight the bond can be between siblings. Dave |
