M

" M " is for Emma She came into my life On a bright sunny day Fluttered around my page Just like a heavenly butterfly She had a thing for the redheads Maybe because she was one of them Said I should join, I'd be welcome there I said I really can't do that, I'm not a redhead Though my sister and brother are true redheads She liked the form of the female body, as I do Had a sensual free flowing spirit about her She was a delicate flower floating along on a Golden leaf against a sunny blue sky above In her secrets, she carried life within her storms She filled the emptiness with love and life In her words, she carried love to all she knew Then God called her home on this day Though we shall meet up again one day My friend Emma passed 5/ 10 / 2012 She was born with a bad heart, she was 30 yrs old!

And then Jesus lay his hand upon her peaceful soul. Welcoming another child whose life had run it's toll. May your faith and love sustain you through yours.

May She rest in Peace - tragedy can erupt the most beautiful beliefs - sounds as though Emma was born with an effective heart to me! elegant metaphors,"carried life within her storms..."Nice! J.A.B.
