Today's a day for laughter Cackling right out loud, Make a person smile today, Captivate a crowd. They might look at you And think you are quite odd, Might tell you 'bout comedians, Out looking for a job. Make some faces-tell some jokes, Be a clown for just one day, You might cheer-up a "sad" someone, Make some worries go away. Sadly life won't always flow Like the melody of song, Admire the one that can still laugh When everything goes wrong. Smiles that are worth More than anything on earth Are the smiles that shine thru tears... (Lady Chipmunk wrote me once and told me she took that last line with her all the time, that she read it everyday...I think she probably did..and, she truly smiled thru tears....I miss her..) |

ToeMan~ You touch us all so tenderly with these words of recall~ And ... that smile was as adorable in person as it ever was on the PiP boards~ I still have such fond memories of meeting Lyra/Chipmunker at the poets gathering in New Poet Richey ... she was SO HAPPY to be there ... and lifted our spirits with her attitude ... believe me she had a beautiful attitude~  Thank you for this ... thank you for being you~ *Huglets*  ~*Marge*~ ~*The sound of a kiss is not as strong as that of a cannon, but it's echo endures much longer*~ |

What a great day this is - you remembering all our favorite poets. She was a genuine nut case I can assure you that one! Loved her to bits. David will be glad to read she is remembered. Nice sentiment and lovely poem Toe. |

Smiles that are worth More than anything on earth Are the smiles that shine thru tears... Amen. *S* And when they can be managed... they sometimes prevent still more tears. *S* Your big heart is showing so beautifully today, Toeman... and yes... I miss her, too. |

Thanks Toe for bringing back memories of my most precious Chipmunk. I'm so blessed that I've met her at that wonderous poet meeting in New Port Richie. She was a special lady and a beautiful poet. Like scattered leaves...my words will flow |

Toe, she was among the first to welcome me to the big heart of the Passions In Poetry home. She had such a way of making me feel welcome. There are so many things that remind me of her. She had a heart of pure gold. You know what else? Right after I came here, I got an email with a big old Toe wrapped up in a rag!!! I wondered who it was that sent me that?? It didn't take me long to find out that you are one of the nicest fellows I have ever met!! You are so sweet, Toe. Thanks for being you!! Heart Hugs, Ethel |
