(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

You've set it out just so,

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
I am blue
Love is an ocean
I'm anchored in you
