THINKING OF YOU
As autumn shrouds the parks and grounds of play
As leaves fall silently covering all
As the winds of winter begin to blow
I think, my friend, of you
The winds in blustery force assail
As you walk head bent across the span of lawn
As the chill of damp is in the air
I think, my friend, of you
School children calling out in shrill voices
As they kick through the fallen leaves
As teachers call them to return to class
I think, my friend, of you
I think, my friend, of you
As you gather your children in your embrace
As you kiss your spouse in joy
I think, my friend, of you
I joy in knowing you are loved
As autumn ends with winter’s shove
As a new year comes with abounding love
I think, my friend, of you.

I truly marvel and truly AM marveled at your works of words.
You must post the Miley poem. Whether anyone knew the baby or not, it is a moving poem. Better yet, send it to Hallmark or American Greeting, or something. I know that there has to be printing info for grief flyers or those handouts you get at the funeral home.
It really was so "sweet" and so very tender.
Wow! you are truly talented... hope to see you soon!
