Past the Sky (In loving memory of Michelle) I was just a child myself, unformed and weaving a path of questions, when you began my motherhood. How could something so small make me so big, I wondered. Make me throw all my priorities to the wind like so much whatnot until I would never be the same again. A little girl all screech and vim, you ran around with plan to twirl a tether made of gold around my soul attached to you for all eternity. Now so entwined, it is you I think of, for you are still the child who made me wise with the wiles of your begin. My first, my girl, I thank you for the growing steps I took to keep you warm, for taking me past this life on earth and showing me spirit lives ever and still, beyond the pale and past the sky where you still can hear my lullaby.

A loving memory of Michelle Martie, and JM said it, she is truly the spirit of your loving muse. We should spend less time worrying about when our life is going to end and more on when it's going to start! |

You did not leave the hanky alert, nor did you leave a dictionary large enough to find the words which fail me now... You know I know. |

My first, my girl, I thank you for the growing steps I took to keep you warm, for taking me past this life on earth and showing me spirit lives ever and still, beyond the pale and past the sky where you still can hear my lullaby. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Such gentle and loving words. I am sure the song you sing will always be... just like her. Hugs, Deb |
