This is a beautiful tribute, Sharon. I love the picture format and frame. She was a lovely woman "inside and out"

Best wishes and big hugs,

Thanks Kit you know she was like a Mother to me, and already going through her things is quite painful but wonderful too. Look what I found

This was a poem I wrote in 1971 to her creating the very 1st ever Aunt's Day! Hope you can read it, see I couldn't rhyme then either

Awww, Sharon, that was beautiful!! Enjoyed the look back at your earlier work too!! I think it is awesome that your aunt kept that...proves that you were someone truly special to her too. Things I write usually end up in my families waste basket. I bet when you found those earlier words to her...it felt like a hug. At least it would have to me. I bet even now she read your new words and gave your soul a little squeeze! Hugs to you my friend... ...God bless ~ Becka

beautiful memory of moments in time...

In your light I learn how to love
In your beauty how to make poems
You dance inside my chest where
no one sees you and that sight becomes this art

Sharon, If I were your aunt you would have found it in my box of memories also. Beautiful little poem you wrote way back then ~~ at ten... And I love the way you are presenting it now. Thanks for sharing, martyjo

remarkably, it is b/c of such endearing people, that we are...what would we have done without them?

Lovely tribute, enjoyed this and you...

I guess we've all had a special person that touched us in a positive way growing up, this was one of mine. I wanted to do this up for someone living far away to see the picture of her I found while in her youth, so thank you for your kind comments.

LOL, trust me Kit has worked VERY hard with me on my da dums, I just don't get it! So this is just my own version, heck look at Shakespeare, he violated all the rules right?

To remind everyone who might see this, there is no better teacher for rhyming than our own Kit's "Playing With My Feet" so here's the link for you.

Sharon,
And our list grows longer. I liked everything about this. You touched me with the care you gave to this write. Just like the care you so generously share with us personally. Lovely indeed.

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.
