Keeping Memories Alive

Keeping Memories Alive


At times when we fear of trying
The righteous come to encourage
At times, it seems not worth inspiring
Somebody will cheer and make us to believe

I don’t know what would you like to be
Now you are gone, maybe a butterfly
To bring respite on our despair and agony
Or maybe a kiss and hug as you fondly say

A corsage of beautiful memories
Your words of encouragement will live forever
Evocation of feeling been told in your poetry
I am grateful to know you as poet and achiever

God has called you in heaven
Your family and poetry soup grieved
Safely home, no more grief, no more pain
Poems reconnect us, or in heaven the chain will live

Noel, your poem has moved me, for many reasons. The first is because I miss Linda M, with all my heart... Others, are heartfelt reasons, and personal... She will always live, with thin my thoughts, and the chain of poems. Thank you for the wonderful dedication... XOX..Linda
