Rewind Of Remind May 1957 ~*Marge Tindal*~ O ~ o ~ O' Twist of fate that brought me here one precious moment too late Parting farewell from this heart explosive remnant of swift depart Salvaged watch from rubbled heap rusts forever in hour of your sleep the hands of time no more do turn across the life of this daughter Daddy I hold each tick of you as if there should be more Rewind Of Remind ~*~ *Memories of my father Mitchell C. Cowart July 1,1917 - May 24,1957 ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

Kit~ Thank you, sweet lady. My father was killed in a dynamite explosion while welding a rig with dynamite left in the cab of the truck. After his funeral, the firemen found his pocket watch that had stopped at the precise moment of the accident. They presented it to this, then teenaged, daughter with tears that it was all they could offer. I've always held it in precious recall of him. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

Marge~ An awesome poem to remember your dad. A terrible tragedy for a young girl to endure in teenage years. It must have been hard. I lost my dad in 1983, he was murdered by two young guys that were trying to rob him. I may have already told you that. I do understand the shock of unexpected loss. Hugs, Deb |

BloomingRose~ Thank you sweet lady. Hugs to you also for the sadness of your loss. Karilea~ I'd like to think so. Thank you. Autumn~ Indeed I often listen ... Saddened that I can only recall endearments to a young girl. Sad that I had not reached adulthood, with him there, so that we could talk. JanetMarie~ Thank you sweetest friend. I am pleased to know that he could be felt in what I write. SoaringEagle~ Too young to have the grown-up memories a daughter should have. Thank you with all my heart, sweet one. I love you. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

I really don't know how to comfort you Marge, but I can say this...perhaps his watch was spared as a reminder to always have the "time" to think of him fondly with love. (I like to think things happen for reasons). He watches, but where he here, he would be wearing that watch and strutting pretty proud with the sweetest gal I know, with a heart bigger than all outdoors! A lovely tribute to your Dad. ~*~ Remember to tell someone today that you love them as tomorrow may never come ~*~ |

I won't say anything lest it comes across as hollow and callous HUGS.... |
