The Left Behind (for Marsha) the mark of remembrance on your face, so clearly shows this solemn garment the Left Behind impenetrable path that may as well be heaven-scratched castles this is the sealed tribute of valiant bonds a scroll that tribunes cannot read written in the blood of souls, read by spirit lips Stand fast! for the wind may not be caught and exasperation is the reward for trying Be envious of your times together never forget, never forsake vows made under unctuous arch love is a precious fortune of brief humilities: of great men it has made suffer like a pestilence and queens avow the pangs of ill fortune helpless are they that contemplate a challenge of fate and when the sword finally cleaves feed the beast no more for eternity we become the observers - the Left Behind - raging against occupying the unliving throne for a demise does not perish once but once for each life it has touched multiplied by a factor of love it is then, for those left behind to keep them alive within us - close in heart evermore (staying at Passions long enough to wish one of God's kindest souls, my own heart of sympathy Jeff) |

(big hugggsssssssss) God Bless You, sweet friend, I too send angel hugs out to this special friend as I know she will rise again and be happier and stronger than ever as your sympathy truly is a spoonful of sugar to her heart! (sigh) This is precious, sweet friend, I knew you'd come back and so happy you did, we all love you so much too! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Jeff, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

When you return, you return in style. What a wonderful thing you have done here, Jeff. |

What an intensely personal and beautiful poem! "Courageous" poetry, is what I call it! |

Jeff, you are so tender-hearted and compassionate... It shows very clearly in your words. . . I will miss seeing you and your words, and hope that you come back very often....that is, if you've got to leave??... "Love makes the world go around" |
