Only You By Larry Chadwick I watched you and liked the things I saw although done from afar You displayed an incredible wisdom drawn from both pain and joy I watched you some more and deduced that you were healing And as time passed it was an inevitable conclusion that I had to draw Only you could put Humpty Dumpty together again June 11, 2003 If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

Larry, Larry, Quite contrary, eh something. So my friend, you are still good as ever: will you ever retire? I sure hope not. I said I'm going to buy a gun and start a war, |

The most powerful gift we have is knowing when not to cross borders, and this says it well about staying distance from pain that needs to heal itself. I liked it lots! |

Larry you made me smile and that's a rare gift. Thank you. When you are Humpty Dumpty scarce sitting on a wall you know in you, it's only friends that keep you from the fall When you are Humpty Dumpty your world is all pain wracked it's only from the gifts of love your heart becomes less cracked When you are Humpty Dumpty as I have often been its then we need our friends round to be heard, be felt, and seen Kethry Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.

Dang! I hate not having internet access at home. Sorry but I am unable to respond to each of you. Your kind thoughts are VERY much appreciated. Thank you. If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |

Karilea, Thank you. Really? I didn't think anybody could put Humpty together again. Maree, Aww thanks. Ethel, Sweet girl you are too kind. Thank you. If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |

Wow Larry, great poem. When I read this I flashed back in time to see memories of meeting you for the first time at the flag pole holding a candle and "butterfly kisses" fluttering through the air, I watched you and quickly saw where your daughter got her loving personality, and then again to the funeral as I read "My teacher, My guide" your gentle tears, your love, and sweetness. You have a gratious heart and I believe this poem goes and leave an imprint of your personality on you and you speak manificinally about putting together the pieces. Again great job. With Loads of love and laughter, Kellie-Marie Love, |

Kellie, Wow. Thank you. Well, you say many nice things. They were indeed trying times. And as I look at the remainder of my life, I fear, there will be more. But it ends eventually for all of us. You have been a good friend. Wish I could have been there for the memorial. If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |
