*For Our Lady Peg...

In Our Lives…


People walk in and out of lives,
All the time,
Sometimes a few touch us
As no others can,
Leaving their marks on our souls,
And our hearts for all to see,

You,
Were one of these,
Your gentle soul inspired me,
As I watched you smile
Through your pain,
Writing again and again,
Of the joy,
True love brings…

You carried your losses,
With your head held high,
Refusing to bow your head,
And repeat the lies,
Whispering around you,
Like an empty breeze…

And now you leave,

Leaving behind confusion in the Den,
Who or what,
Brought about this end...
Why let them win...?
Why you my friend…?

Someone who has always been
Gentle and Kind,
Never spoken a harsh word to any,
So beloved by many,
You are the heart and soul of this place,
How can you vanish without a trace…?

You shall not,
For you will live in the hearts and minds
Of all who know the name…

Of Lady Peg…

A beautiful tribute
to a beautiful soul...
Peggy has so much
going on in her life
right now...
The added stress that
she was subjected to
was sooo mean and cruel...
Shame on the one or ones that put this on her...
She does not need
the aggravation....
"Especially at this time."
Nor any time...

Bravo for this write.

Wonderful write.
Once Peggy is In Our Lives the world is a better place.
I am so completely in the dark over this whole matter.
People in the spot light get attacked all the time. The very attacks point to the fact that they are doing something...really doing something...and it is a threat to those with nothing to offer.
What a tragedy if some low life is given the power to take Peggy away from us.
But we can't be selfish about it either.
If she needs to go we have to respect that.
What a bad day.
John

A beautiful tribute to our Lady! I could do as others have done and beg her to stay. But I figure with all the tears and words she's bound to know by now how much we love and adore her. Each of us. And again you have made her feel it just that much more in these words you've penned for her. Just wonderful! ~SH~

Amen to all you said and the comments of everyone else. Losing Peggy would leave a permanent cloud over the Den and I too, hope Matt can find a way to sort all of this out.
Great tribute, Reindeer.

Peggy when you read this you will see how we all feel, and rethink your oposition. If you must take a break that is understandable, but please don't say you are leaving,that would be a travesty!
