Katherine Howell Poem
He sits alone in the room with silence, rocking in his chair he loves so much, looking at a picture teary eyed and tense, one in his hands from the hutch. Then the silence broke"why did you leave me"? we were together for sixty-five years, with our hearts,love and trust always to be, holding our wedding picture as he wiped his tears. I whispered"never have I left-I`ve always been here", I love you forever with all my sole and heart, I`ve loved you for sixty-five years.

Katherine Howell Poem
I lay listening to my heart pound and the clock ticking away, waiting for midnight to arrive for another day. Nothing is said,nothing is done,until an angel came in to say, good morning dear-I brought you your meal, she hung it up and plugged in,then smiled at me with a glow so real. Hours went by,people came and left, nobody talks as much to me, perhaps they think I`m deaf, or parolised with stupidety. So I listen to the clock making rithom with my heart beat, waiting for midnight to hear my angel talk.

Katherine Howell Poem
Never have I smelled the fresh growth of a rose, or the purest scent of the gass as it`s been cut so low, and how the warm breeze carries all of nature scents to my nose, where was I before?I just don`t know. I`ve never heard the birds cherp so sweet, or the laughter of children as they play so hard, and the pidder padder of their tiny feet, remembering is a dream of the heart. Then I waken wrinkled with age, my brittle bones weakend with pain, sitting in a four wheeled cage, wanting so much to dance in the rain. Never have I heard a voice so soft, come with me-stand and walk, then my pain was gone with her touch so soft, my angel came to me and so I walked.
