 So Less Is Much I know you have not forgotten the part you played upon my soul listing my boat and then recovery deep drowning to take a breath A poem to you still my child your spirit big is shown telling sunrise how to open your birth day within my own The years would think to lose the recovery of your face remark the winsome still it’s mine as well as yours this attitude this trace Did you like bacon Saturdays and leave your hair uncombed for hours loll and lag in simple unmade bed beguile the bathtub with no no I don’t recall those pots and pans with years I've filled I only know the deepest place where love is smitten with itself and blooms all day and even death can’t shake the phantom sound of give not take So pay no mind to lack of touch within this play we wrote ourselves a given tapestry that won’t wear out no stars or wings or trees can say how better planned my life could be this way that seemed so less is much ------- In memory of my daughter Michelle on her birthday |

Memories like these are what poems are made of... straight from the heart... to be shared, and carried. Love you for this... and wishing Michelle a happy little birthday... for all of the memories she continues to make.  |

OhSweetSis~ In moments such as this your love of Michelle stretches through time surely reaching the eyes of angels, repeated and sung ... for the Heaven's know this sound of love-in-surround~ *Huglets* ~*Marge*~ |

When you write of her, there is such a deep lovemagic that I feel almost unqualified to make any comment at all. I think this may be one of your best poems of her, as you know....which makes it one of your best poems. ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |
