[hometext] => Sometimes our life experiences can teach us so much we will never forget them, and how they affected us.
[bodytext] =>  I'M A KEEPER ARE YOU? 'Twas a blistering cold day on the day he died. In the warmth of our bedroom I sat stunned, and dry eyed..... A young man only 38 in his prime I wanted to scream "Stop the time, Please stop all time!" Precisely, in that moment, I realized he was gone..... No more hugs, no more comforting words, I sat there until dawn. I watched his life seep slowly away.... Horrible pain of realizing that sometimes no matter how much you love a person, or how much you try.......there will be no more not even for a day! N'er again will my front door open and I'll hear "I love you honey!" His "bear hugs" were worth more to me than a Million Dollars real money. No more loving encouragement..... Sometimes there's no returning when someone you love is absent. Sometimes those we love the most simply go away, No notice, no warning, we won't even know the moment or the day? He never said, "Goodbye" I said, "I love you" but did he hear me? He was in a coma. Helplessness, defeating, death's trauma With one breath, his last, I learned. Your priorities change, are rearranged, your whole life upturned, So while you still can love them dearly, If they are sick care for them early This is true for marriages, or relationships If they are strained, or broken, try to mend e'vn if hardship. My little Winnie dog has seizures but she's in no pain, Do I put her to sleep because I can? Am I being selfish or inhumane? The oldsters in each of our families? Nanna's and Bompa's are they our "Crazies" or our "Beauties?" We keep them close and dearly love them Because we want to, we cherish them! Our best friends that moved away, or our classmate, our best pal in high school? Do we keep them close to our hearts, part of our "Love-Pool?" I'm a "Keeper" are you? I keep everyone and everything that makes me happy..... Life is so precious, and so are those that we keep close and love deeply. I received this from a dear classmate that thought I was a "Keeper" And he was so right, I'd keep all my friends, and all my pets if I could, for then I'd never be a "Weeper!" Now I'm sending this to all those other "Keepers" that I know Hoping they too will send it along to all the "Keepers" they know....... I made the story mine, and wrote the poem Created by LovingCritters with.....  12/28/05  "One day at a time--this is enough. Do not look back and grieve over the past, for it is gone, and do not be troubled about the future, for it has not yet come. Live in the present, and make it so beautiful it will be worth remembering." "Keeper's Smiles!"

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. ©
