There Was A Party Going On ~*Mom Tindal*~  There was laughter in the living room long into the early dawn I swear the picture came alive There was a party going on~ How they laughed in merriment on the wall, within that antique frame These four precious 'angels' playing their childhood games~ I stood there in astonishment from the time they began the dance Honest Injun, they came to life as though time had not advanced~ Each of them giggling n' snickering as they laughed in childhood play Brothers and sister from the photo playground reminding me of an earlier day~ My heart was caught in memories Seems like only yesterday, I know when they were all so very small Yet it was a time so long ago~ Tracie, Robert, David and Steven thank you for your laughter last night That party going on in the living room was REALLY out of sight~ ~*~ Come back and play again little darlings~ March 2002 ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

My heart was caught in memories Seems like only yesterday, I know when they were all so very small Yet it was a time so long ago~ What beautiful things photographs and memories are... they let our minds travel in time. *S* This is delightful, Marge... and now you can appreciate the party without the teensiest desire to yell "y'all hush up in there!" *G* |

Margie girl sweet sister of my heart this is utterly utterly delightful. I swear I could hear the merry laughter of the children. I love the imagery in this darling girl so sprightly and free. Those memories are so precious to us, and thank you for sharing yours with me. Wonderful writing as always, you really do have a magic quill darling heart  Love and warm stuff As always Mushy  To give light to them that sit in darkness..... to guide our feet into the way of peace Luke 2:79 |

They never really grow up, do they, at least not in a mother's heart. Just love it Marge, brings back memories. Titia A rose is a rose is a rose...I guess... |
