Jenna no longer has access to her account, and she has asked if I would post this for her.
These would be her last thoughts to Milt ~
Gone is the glint of your smile and poetic words
No longer will they glow on your poetry pages
How cruel was the fate of your mortal existence
that wounded my heart without scarring the flesh
In mourning am I that your last breath was taken
before I could whisper, "fond adieu and farewell"
Your life has dimmed, embers burned to ashes
Tears flow for your spark, extinguished in the dark
You live in the echoes of my treasured memories
but never to fray like unraveling loose threads
My fingers tremble with ardent emotion as I write,
Forever you will remain imprinted upon my heart
And when I hear the call of a meadowlark's trill
I will smile and imagine that you are still here
*Thank you, Tania, for using Milt's meadowlark quote on
your poem, 'A Heavenly Rest in Peace. 'It helped me find
the perfect final line for my thoughts.
A young lass in our neighbourhood named Jenna Taylia
Received many male requests to visit her semitrailer
She complied mucho times
Guys went out of their minds
Most emerged looking happy but a whole lot paler
Silver blonde hair hiding an eye
Blue eyes bright and intent
A nose cute enough to tweak
These are what I see when I think of you
Laughter that rivals the bluebells
A smile so warm to melt the darkest heart
Your spirit a beacon to guide and help us all
These are what I see when I think of you
And even though I only had you for three months
These and you will be in my heart forever
Love,
Mom
To My Daughter,Jenna.
The way you smile,the things you say,the way you make me feel,
You sure do make me happy,so proud,it feels just so unreal.
You are so pretty,so very precious,an angel,here on earth,
I've loved you always my pretty one,ever since your birth.
You fill my life with happiness,even on my saddest days,
In things that you do,things that you say,in oh, so many ways.
I truely am so very blessed,to have a chid like you,
You are so warm,so very lovely,so honest and so true.
You have such special qualities,so touching and so deep,
You can make me laugh and sad,and you can make me weep.
You can make me happy,when I'm feeling blue,
And I just want for you to know,my Daughter,I love you.
