 Our Own Man of La Mancha What woman does not yet see this image of you, still in me through the eye of blind I feel with touch of finger, you, so real My conqueror of love, my fighter, true, now gone your ways alone, have you, without your mother as your guide, but with your Sancho, you did ride… the man you were, I saw in dream when as a child, you played in stream you hefted rock, clasped hands in prayer a man of words, a poet, rare as sunlight filtered all your schemes the roads oft taken were not serene you stumbled, but you never fell you gathered thoughts on which to dwell the softer side you show to friends, and wisdom? Ah, that you blend with the mother I have left in you, and for this, I enjoy my view… ~*~ Dedicated... to Sy... with great respect... for his dreams have led me to visions of my own...

Karilea~What a beautiful tribute to our Sy this morning. Such a loving portrayal he left for us of his mother to read this morning. I'm sure he will enjoy this. He is indeed our own Man of La Mancha. ~Morning hugs~ |

OH Gosh! It almost looks like him too... I can't say which particular feature it is.. Nicely done KJ, very deserving post to one who has given their heart to you and so many others through his writings.... [This message has been edited by Magnus (09-15-2002 10:44 AM).] |

Karilea, what a wonderful tribute to "Our Man Of The Morning" well, that is what I call him, but Man of La Mancha works too  Gee, I think you got the da dum down too, what a gal! The most valuable thing you own is a smile, wear it, and share it. |

To dub someone with such a title is praise indeed, To do it so well is artistry |

as sunlight filtered all your schemes the roads oft taken were not serene you stumbled, but you never fell you gathered thoughts on which to dwell Karilea, a beautifully written tribute. Too early for the rainbow, too early for the dove These are the final days, this is the darkness, this is the flood |

This is a totally lovely and fitting tribute, Karilea... and I agree with Barry about the picture... There is some element of it that even looks a bit like Sy... Maybe its the expression... Thanks for sharing it with us.  ~ hugs and grinsLyra |
