[hometext] => This story was just so beautiful, I had to share it with you....................Enjoy
[bodytext] =>  I WISH YOU ENOUGH They had just announced the departure I couldn't help but overhear mother and daughter. As they hugged, the mother said, "I love you and I wish you enough." Said the daughter "Mom our life together has always been more than enough. Your love is all I ever needed....... I wish you enough too Mom, stay tough!" They kissed and hugged, the daughter departed. Walking over to the window, I observed the mother so downhearted. I didn't want to intrude--I didn't want to be rude, Then she spoke, "Did you ever say good-bye to someone with forever imbued?" I replied, "Yes, I have, forgive me for asking, why is this a forever goodbye?" "I am old you see, face many challenges, she lives far away. I have no one on whom I can rely. Realty is, next visit for her will be to my funeral. "How very sad, Why did you utter, 'I wish you enough' or is that personal?" "That's a wish that has been handed down to me from many generations. My parents used to say that to everyone, they were Germans. Pausing a moment then looking up as if trying to remember it in detail. She smiled even more. "When it is we said, 'I wish you enough' to prevail." Wanting the other person to have a life fulfilled, Just enough good things to sustain them so they could continue to build. Turning toward me she shared the following..... reciting from her memory-- "I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright. I wish you enough rain to appreciate even more the sun's light. I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive, I wish you enough pain so that the smallest joys in life will appear bigger live. Also, I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting. I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that you possess from your longing. I wish you enough hellos to get you through the final good-bye" She then turned and walked away as she began to cry. The story was sent to me by a dear friend..... The poem is mine. Lovingcritters consue July 8, 2005  "To be without some of the things that you want, is an indispensable part of happiness." ~Bertrand Russell~ *I wish you enough smiles!*  [comments] => 8 [counter] => 185 [topic] => 21 [informant] => Lovingcritters [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 20 [ratings] => 4 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Lifepoems )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
