This Sanctuary holds great sorrow,
Coming memories of tomorrow
Crepe myrtle and bamboo
The great Elm and below his ashes
The last time I draw these sashes
Dimly lit corner sits the piano
Memories
Shadows
Voice calling from the attic
His old dial radio playing static
Prayer book at her bedside
"footprints" by the hearth
This house now sits in silence
It's family has gone
No one left to belong
This Sanctuary holds great sorrow
These dying memories for tomorrow... I wrote this when I last went down to Oklahoma to my mothers grave. I was actually in Sherman Texas...saying "goodbye" to my grandmothers House, she had just passed away...the last of my Mommas immediate family, most of which were taken within a two and a half year span. I now am able to smile when I read this and wanted to share with all of you...Blessed Be, Sarah-Lynn (see hunny...I will never abandon you nor deprive your beautiful self of my words which you seem to love ever so...)

You better not *shakes finger* This reminds me of when I went down to Arkansas for my grandmothers funeral...I felt so selfish for being so sad even though she was in such rough shape, now I realize that I wouldn't have her stay in a collapsed home just because she was afraid to go outside.
