Ode to Pilgrimage

A voice that’s soft and full of wit
A touch of truth and quite a hit
Her humour is so very fine
A way of verse that’s just sublime
I hear her words they sing to me
And see her still so clearly
You’ll never meet a finer soul
One who’s sure and also whole
Pilgrimage my friend you are so sweet
I’m so glad that we got to meet

Marsha

Breathe through the heat of our desire
Thy coolness and they balm
Let sense be dumb let flesh retire
Speak through the earthquake wind and fire

OhMarshaLove~

Indeed she is a dear~

Her wit and humor was outstanding !

But ... what I remember best is her speechless awe at standing in the Gulf watching the sun-in-set ... a place she had never been ... now that was a moment to behold~

Nancy ... e-mail me !!!

Hi! I finally have five minutes to visit, and find my name is being bandied about. What a sweet poem, you must have meant it for a different Pilgrimage. We never DID run into Skinny so we could dip him, did we? And we could have whipped up a Hollandaise sauce in no time. What I'll never forget is the fun we had-even being lost in the wilds of Port Richey was fun!

P.S. Before I went to Florida you promised me dancing boys-then you kept me so busy I never got to ask where they were!

mum excellent writing it was so true what you said about nan. What do you mean no dancing men they were there when we came to pick you up, you mean you did not see them

Very well written

love and warm stuff
as always

you mean you got promised dancing boys, Nan?
How come I never heard about that...maybe it was a gimmick to get you to come

this was a great poem to a fine lady, Marsha
