The Bag Lady

The Bag Lady - blue That’s me ……………….I carry my world around withme - you are there every second of every day I am tattered and torn a little bit
frayed around the edges as is



my heart that is shattered
and broken blue Photo’s and poems of love areall that I own. - you who stole

my heart  my very blue soul It never ever forgot or Forgets -

you're the one who owns my

sad blue soul This is where I am now -

in limbo blue betweentwo worlds You're there - I am here foryou - always the onlyplace I long to be  your own Electric Blue

Oh dear Maggie, turn on the colours of the sunlight

I am saddened by your poem, it is good to get it onto paper, but not so good to dwell on things no longer possible, it will not turn time backwards, one muts go forward and with the love you have in your heart do things he would have done, let him keep you light-footed and happy inside and if you show this wonderful happiness through your actions it will spread to others around you and they will love you too. There is so much sympathy one can give but one cannot live in it, it will not give you new life, it is only you who can give yourself a second chance at joy an infinitely greater aim than misery. I send you my vibrations of joyfulness across the ocean and the seagulls will tell you what to do, dear Maggie of old England. Yours with love Ann of Norway.

How beautifully sad

Dreams made, had, and lost - one by one on the road to finding life. And in that bag, all those memories, carefully kept close, within eyeshot. Near and dear to the heart. I am wishing her a warmer coat ... ~Pamela

Oh my electric blue

You know I never got a chance to read this and I knew right after the first couple of lines I felt your tears as your were writing this one. I am hoping you are getting all your stuff together and I miss chatting with you. Love this poem by the way Love Mona Learn to live, learn to forgive. Life is too short.
