With Permission ... Sculpture entitled Melted Memories


In dedication to John McGrath and his beloved wife Jannie
Whom he lost to Cancer just days after her being diagnoised

John a poet in his own right waits now only for the day
He can again be with his precious Jannie

Please keep him in your prayers



 
Melted Memories
 



So true the love of poet's pen
That speaks of memories deep within
Brought to the page true love to see
The sweetness found in memory

One soul now lives beyond the sun
The other waits till work is done
Walking the streets of love each day
The vision sweet that lights his way



Held out to all that cares to read
The poet pens true love so beautifully
Bringing forth true love of years now past
From just beyond the looking glass


Jannie Speaks


John speak of our love and make it clear

I am forever.

.... Always near

True love lives not in melted memories
Within the heaven's is our true reality



Since I have left we've grown to see
That earth holds not our only dreams

Just beyond what we've begun
Still awaits the truest of our love

Image hosted by TinyPic.com
Within the form of this molten glass
Lies days that lived within our past
Pen fondly of our days now gone
Of gentle touch and joyful song

The White
What we have lived within our past

The Gold
What we will see at last

Ribbons of Gold beyond what you see . . .
Our love for all eternity

"Part of me lives within the past... Another portion hopes, life will not last... To live in her memory is grace... To die, is to see her face to face... So either way my die is cast... The future there, or in the past... "



A voice that whispers on the wind
The poet hears . . . picks up his pen

Author's Note

Aspiring Angel
I left a cafe within the stars and when I did
I found out that my heart was broken there by many.
Sometimes I just have to remember
The 'Why's" I left

The title is now for me also 'Melted Memories'

Oh, this one got me good. Sue just left for work, and I'm home alone. I have a terminal cancer(Pancreatic), we seldom talk about it.
My only fear is leaving her alone. This piece reveals many things that wake me up late at night, and takes me out to my favorite chair.
where I sit there in the dark, and think of life and death. Generally, I give it no thought. Dying is such an innate part of life, like the passing of the seasons. Like they say " I'm not afraid of dying, I just don't want to be there when it happens." :)
Such a sad, but beautiful tribute. Rain..

Thank you for sharing this poem with me. It was beautiful and it also reminds me to keep fighting the mental fight of focusing on the wonderful experiences we shared. I have a grasp on death that allows me to handle it better than most. I really feel for my son that lost this "Little Princess" and my mother-in-law that lost her child who through fault of her own lived her life through her daughter. I do get joy in seeing my mother-in-law find her own way and her strength in moving on is inspiring. I am not sure why I shared all this in the review but what you wrote touch my heart and brought a warm smile to my face. Is okay if I think of you as my Angel here on earth? Much Love!

Lesa,
My eyes are leeking, what a heartfelt, loving tribute to John and Jannie this is.
I hope that he has seen this. I know it will touch him deeply.
I remember when he wrote those words at ending, and I cried then as I do now.
Time continues its evolution, but the memories remain, melted in our hearts and minds
forever. A fitting title 'Melted memories'.

You are a blessing, and never forget that, no matter what the stars whispered.

hugs and many blessings,
Sandi
