i'm writing this for a friend
see i sometimes forget things
like i am somebody
and i can be
wonder why it's so easy to believe
the bad things....
i'm writing this for somebody who way back on 5/2/2002
gave me a "reality recipe"
that told me "to capture a dream...."
and the water was so clean that a reflection of the structures were seen a painting i'm sure she did
she is creative, talented that way
makes me want to forget those bad things
and really,really dream
i'm writing this for a remarkable woman
that touches so many lives
her genuine nature remarkablly shines
cause sometimes we forget
how we are loved
and thought of
and no matter how low i go
something in her approach
lets me no
hay God made all things beautiful
and i am somebody
and i'm suppose to be
cause she said to " to sing and grab a song" she said to "carry optimism along" she warns us of the games society plays, and not to be losers, boozers and clowns and of the creator's
embrace
she wrote that cause she knows sometimes we forget and get caught-up in the storm
so easy, so easy to believe
the bad things
i'm writing this for Eileen T. Waldron
cause she said she sang MY SONG
"A Blues Poem"
Ella style
and she really haven't a clue
of how many lives she
touched
today
she is just marvelous that way

I THINK SOME OF THE PEOPLE IN YOUR LIFE INDIRECTLY AND DIRECTLY TOUCHED PEOPLE IN THERE LIFE,WHETHER IT WAS GOOD OR BAD, NEVER THE LESS YOU LEARN AND APPRECIATE FROM BOTH AND HOPEFULLY APPLY IT AS LIFE GOES ON.
Awwww! you made me cry on this one, but they are happy tears. This is a wonderful tribute to Eileen, whom I think is a Diva in her own right. Mitzi, you done good gurl!
From my soul, I share the world with few who can see past the words on the page into the heart. You have done this with this poem. Excellent write. Walt
Mitzi!I'm speechless! Floria's right i'm crying
like a baby.;-). Both tears and thanksgiving,
if God reached you through something I said!
It's all Him you know! Sweet gal, I hardly know
what to say, I'm so honored and humbled by
this. You will never know what this wondrous
encouragement means to me right at this time.
God is so Good! He leads us in ways unbelievable.
Thank you dear Mitzi, I shall treasure this always!
You know how much your poetry has always meant
to me. You are so real, it just gladdens my heart and
soothes my soul, to read you! Keep singing your song
loud and free!May He bless you and yours always!;-)
