When Cold The March Winds Blow
~*Marge Tindal*~

When cold the March winds blow
across the chasms of recall
I reach for smiles-of-remember
from my angels of the fall~

Mother, Shari and Shelly
angels you were, all three
Birth-of-days come swimming 'round
always reminding me

So cold these days of winter
when still the March winds blow
Further from the distant longing
before you had to go~

Nothing do I feel
but this shearing, tearing wind
seeping into the heart
through the cracks where you've been

I gather your memories around me
snuggling deep-down inside
the comfort of the smiles you left
so these tears would not be cried~

And yet~
Tiny droplets fall
pressing your memory
once again into
the very heart of me

I would not want to forget you
for you are each worth remembering
smiles, tears and all~

And today I pray
that the smiles outnumber the tears
like you said they would

~*~
With such loving birth-of-day memories of
Mother-March 31,1925 - October 4, 1995
Sister Shari - March 8, 1944 - October 7, 1999
Shelly Barr - March 10, 1962 - November 22, 1984

Marge/sis....A poem worthy of three angels. I often called my Michelle, Shelley.

Marge, this is beautiful. When March seems cold, sit in that sunlight. It is the bright of their smiles warming you.

March winds may blow cold ~ but with them comes the promise of a Spring's rebirth.

Sending spirited birthday wishes to them all. God bless.

Marge, withe each passing year the tears lessen but the heartbreak and loss always seems to be there.
Thankfully we have beloved memories.

Saying a special prayer for your family.

huggles, Marti

March's winds will always blow cold, but the memories of your angels is the blanket that warms you.

When someone lives in your heart, there is no separation of love or kindred souls. I wish you a full heart full of their smiles and happy memories to their tribute. I think they must have been very blessed to have you for a sister, daughter, friend.

Hugs,
