It is by a poet called Frank McDonald and is called <a href="http://jayneferst.blogspot.com/2007/10/ways-we-might-have-gone.html" rel="nofollow">Ways We Might Have Gone</a>. I think you'll like it!<br /><br />Lovely poems. The top poem makes me feel very comforted as well. I am glad you had a gifted surgeon two years ago, and I hope that today finds you very well and happy!Jaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11309191526500602452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8608279570927513160.post-25723896050091011302010-03-22T05:01:36.871-07:002010-03-22T05:01:36.871-07:00What lovely poems.

I think we all hope our words might carry over into the future, if but a sentence or two to be treasured by someone we never knew. Now that's longevity. Your last paragraph is very touching. A match for the preceding quoted works.Yvonne Osbornehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18212188414972694795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8608279570927513160.post-73147834024436778562010-03-20T16:59:32.334-07:002010-03-20T16:59:32.334-07:00I usually quote a few Shakespeare sonnets to mysel...I usually quote a few Shakespeare sonnets to myself when I'm feeling low.

It is such a pleasure to know a wonderful spirit like yours.<br /><br />I have poems, quotes, books, songs, etc that are there for me when I need them. Many times solace if found in the most unique passages. We discover ourselves over & over again in this life; each time facing a part of our soul that we failed to notice before. That moment, that second of recognition is so powerful. Lyrics can bring it forward along side a comforting melody while a story allows us to escape within its characters while never leaving the house. <br /><br />I understand your brush with death only by my own. I do not know details of yours, but I do know that fear - that understanding - that acceptance - that appreciation for all that we are blessed to see once the threat has been overcome. Every day is treasure, I hope that one day my words will be looked at one thousand years from now and someone will find comfort in a kindred spirit.<br /><br /><a href="http://princesscourtneysbarr.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Visit My Kingdom Anytime</a>Courtney Barr - The Southern Princesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14455508477182984039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8608279570927513160.post-45936497009028881662010-03-19T10:38:55.522-07:002010-03-19T10:38:55.522-07:00This is beautiful Roxy.

Tolkein, LM Montgomery & McCaffrey are 3 of my faves, although I also revisit Shakespeare & surprisingly Star Trek novels when I need them as well.
