(Re-posted as a tradition for a wonderful friend in all our hearts, who spreads flowers to everyone's heart and sunshine everyday! God Bless You Martie, and Happy Birthday!) ![]() 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... ![]() I don't need no proof when it comes to God and truth I can see the sun set and I perceive ***Live*** [This message has been edited by Mistletoe Angel (09-22-2003 10:26 PM).] |

Noah, you certainly got some of Martie's fine qualities spotlighted in your poem. She is just a special being that is for sure, as are you in all the thoughtful things you do. Here's to you both! |
