I'm Counting Teardrops Tonight ~*Marge Tindal*~  I'm counting teardrops tonight You'll be the next one to fall Drowning in a moment of tender remember back when you were my all~ Trickling through a smile from the past Splashing in puddles of recall I'm counting teardrops tonight Darling, you'll be the next one to fall~ I'm counting teardrops tonight Dreading the treading of it all No matter how many teardrops I've cried you're always the next one to fall~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

Margie girl, your pen is so very gifted......this is so very beautiful.....I have days when I could count those teardrops with you......just beautiful...... I could have missed the pain, but I'd have had to miss the dance~~(Garth) [This message has been edited by Gentle Spirit (06-21-2002 09:14 PM).] |

GentleSpirit~ Thanks dear ... I appreciate that~ Lyra~ Nah ... oh, sure at sometime in my life .. just not at this 'puddle-pourer' ... Maybe the SIX straight days of rain had something to do with this one~ *Hugs* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

The first teardrop's for Balladeer How could I let him go? He treated me so wonderfully... I'm really feeling low. The second tear's for Balladeer. He was the man for me So kind and thoughtful to me, filled With generosity. The third tear is for Balladeer. What pain I now endure. I suffer from a melancholy Mood that has no cure. Hell, all tears are for Balladeer. My hanky's wringing wet. I gave the air to Balladeer... How foolish could I get??? [This message has been edited by Balladeer (06-21-2002 09:36 PM).] |

Margie girl darling sister of my heart and collector of my hearts dreams this is quite probably the loveliest poem I've ever read and I mean it.. You are inarguably the best writer of hearts tears than anyone I know. You darling heart write PURE MAGIC and that's no lie. YOU are utterly utterly utterly superb. And I know this you are a great writer. Knowing your spirit as I do, I KNOW, you can and do shine like the sparkle from a precious jewel. Others write well amazingly well, you shine out as a star. Biased I may be but anyone reading this jewel will agree with me  Love and warm stuff As always Mushy  Breathe through the heat of our desire |

Auntie Margie girl this is your writing at it’s best, the flow construction and the concept are all excellent. You know I admire your writing enormously. Not only do you have the ability to write like a dream you also have enough command of the English language to use it stunningly. This it absolutely excellent.

Don't give them all to Balladeer He had his share of tears I want one too to keep to heart And use it when it's needed hard You write such beautiful words my dear Reaching out and touching deep The hearts of people who pass by This one I think I'll keep  [This message has been edited by Titia Geertman (06-22-2002 08:56 AM).] |

Marge, crowning beauty in your trembling tears. The poem flows so softly down but Margie girl don't wear a frown you have the gift and so much more all of your poems I adore. Kethry Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |

Marge: Very melancholy atmosphere and I can relate to it so well. I feel the same way when it keeps raining every day! Those raindrops definitely look like tears sliding down the windowpane! Betty Lou Hebert |

Aww, Hon I hope these are in the past words. I'd be happy to bring tissues and hugs if you need them. Lots of hugs. Marti " My wrinkles are badges of courage and reveal that I am a Mother." |

Marge, May all your tears be happy tears and poems like this come from rainy days. This is another example of never knowing what going to pop out when I open one of your poems. Dan |
