(This is definitely one of the most difficult poems I have ever written because just thinking of how loving and wonderful you are had me flooding in tears writing this, and how you truly are our flower girl who shares such a strong love for your Michelle and everyone! God Bless You and we all wish you the happiest birthday! This is for you, sweet Martie!) Our Flower Girl By: Noah Eaton 9/22/02 To search for the rainbows end To suckle another iced tea conception with lemon Can be felt just through the girl-scout grin of a flower delivery girl In the inevitable march of time down the yellow brick heavens They say "like a gardener, you believe what goes down must come up." And "every time history repeats itself, the price goes up." That's why God made girls to spread flowers to everyone in easter bunny baskets So history can tide with blessings in small packages of love Love is timeless happenstance but her heart is filled with marrow As easy as a gown dropped it can float and rise once more Like the spring that follows winter, where waits clarity Between the tea and scones she is the chamomile that heals every throat sore She teaches us that each years measure is worth much treasure So I sing this ode to the artist of the meadow mural Encase your soul evermore in livings smile And may it be you like the warm Bahamian breeze in soprano Always know your girl Michelle will always love you She will always be the morning that gathers in your curtain The zephyr hug under the mimosa tree She will always be here for you, for a mother and daughter's love is endless For you are our flower girl, the gardener of poetic purity With a heart of honeyed clover and smile that's even summer in winter We all share that Virgo in our souls with you Following you into your special place where loves meaning gathers... "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." Shakira [This message has been edited by Mistletoe Angel (09-22-2002 08:08 PM).] |

Hello Noah You must have the biggest heart and the kindest soul I know. Martie will no doubt be so very touched by your heartfelt words. You stand alone when it comes to showing all the love you hold dearly for so many people here and I think I speak for all of us in saying that love is returned to you. Take care.......Sue I am in motion |
