IN MEMORIAM

  IN MEMORIAM Anna Carmella Filomena Longo-GeremiaJanuary 24, 2002

  Do you think I could forgetYou live in my dayMoments of memoryThat pass my wayYou breathe still in meIn my mindIn my heartYou are partOf my soulTime flies on wings of madnessNo glory in thisWe walk on different roads nowYou and IBut ever so quietlyI step gently Where you have beenAn Soon will be where you areIt's only one sigh away                          Note: My mom died of Parkinsonian dementia   at home with me. Two years later I was diagnosed with an agressive form of Parkinson’s. Doing well and fighting to be well. Joseph Bernard John  Longo-Geremia

a tender tribute

whose warmth emanates, this poem does her justice. Am wondering if you mean "you breath still in me" or "you breathe in me still," or "you still breathe in me." Breath (pr:breth) is the actually air we inhale and exhale, whereas breathe (pr:breeth) is the act of taking in the breath. Just a minor question about a tender work. Mark W. Galatians 5:22-23 "22 But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, and self-control. Against these, there is no law!" My favorite verse(s) in the Bible

J.B. Longo-GeremiaIt is the

J.B. Longo-Geremia It is the verb "breathe" Verb suggests present action, living still. The noun "breath" is statis. :) The placement of "still' is unusual because a "violation" of grammar brings attention to a thought or word. Also, see change from "You live in my heart" to "You live in my day." As it was meant to be.. careless of me. :) Thanks, my friend Joe
