It is different this year For the hole is hand stitched With the thread that I lost Then re-found and re-fit And the tear covered fingers Of hand to the face Are changing the vacancy To knowledge and grace Can you see how the empty Really waits to be filled And the fabric of time Is sewn with heart’s skill And the sweet smell of sunshine Still hangs on the fence Within the lost pages Of life’s circumstance So don’t worry my darling Where ever you are Is a minute just now And then gone but not far So the road may seem empty When the skin feels the cold But the weight of my heart Is the blanket you hold |

Martie, I feel such warmth with this one. It was so well said, and you share the very depths of yourself with us. Thank you. |

Tis said emptiness in definition therein weighs nothing even has no mass But the weigth compressing you remains measured in tonnage of time tears laughter and the also nonexistent space Better days to thee in all changes which call inward and out to thee Compliments "Sooner or later, Death makes a believer out of just about everyone." |

How could anyone, not be comforted by the true warmth, and reassurance, from a heart that is this loving, and tender? Especially, a sweet and innocent loved one, who is very, very, far away... Dear Martie, God Bless you, and your dearest Michelle on this day and night, and always I know that tonight especially, she feels, her mommy’s extra soft, blanket of love And sleeps soundly, extra close, and in your loving arms Richy  |

Dang! Tears sure do come to a country boys eyes easy, when they gaze on a poem such as this...Trouble is....I don't know if they are tears of joy or sorrow....some of each I suspect. Excellent poetry as always, dear friend...enjoyed immensely ________ice ><> |

And the sweet smell of sunshine Still hangs on the fence Within the lost pages Of life’s circumstance So don’t worry my darling Where ever you are Is a minute just now And then gone but not far So the road may seem empty When the skin feels the cold But the weight of my heart Is the blanket you hold ============================ this is as endearing as the precious child that inspired it, and as lovely and sincere as the poet who wrote it.  Well I cant say what I might believe ... |

"But the weight of my heart Is the blanket you hold" (big angel hugs) Oh Martie, as always your poetry makes me feel but this line especially made me cry as you devote your entire heart to your loved ones and the weight of your heart is like the most comfortable sheets in the most friendly bed and breakfast inn! (wipes tears) God Bless You, sweet friend, I send angel comfort hugs your way, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Martie, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "You'll find something that's enough to keep you |

Martie - this is sooooo incredibly wonderful - you touch the deepest part of me here and I see Michelle hold your heart as a blanket as she smiles and says I love you mom - Paul |
