With An Angel On My Shoulder: Friday Funny: Knock Knock

The Poem That Inspired My Subtitle

A Song for Daniel, Stillborn
by Jean Felice Eilbert (his mother)

When I held you in my arms that day
Born so still, born anyway
How was I to know to say goodbye?
No one knew just what to do
Except tell me I'd get over you
As if forgetting makes it all untrue -- a lie

But I remember to remember
I can't forget just to forget
Your memories are a part of me
Connecting me to what comes next.

And even after all this while
I think of you, sometimes I smile
Memories of my unknown child, fade slow.
I've held you in my heart each day
Life so short, life anyway
Memories are meant to say hello.

Country Mouse, City Mouse said...: I am always afraid of a bear break in when we go to the cottage. We don't even bbq near the cottage any more. We moved the bbq off the deck and keep it by the garage, and put it in the garage for the night. Problem is a neighbour was feeding the bears off his deck so they became use to coming down to be hand feed.

Sorry, got way off topic of your funny!; February 27, 2011
