Her father took her out of public school and put her into a private, parochial school.<br /><br />For sure the box is sealed forever now, she committed suicide before age 20. I hear her inside, I have written poems about her and us.<br />..<br />I won't bore you with my other friend of 37 years. He died June 17 but I only found out about it this afternoon when I Googled him to find out more of an honor that he had received. We had move to the north end of Houston and we had lived South near him before. We were golfing buddies back then. His box may emit sounds also.<br />..Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02982249173214655060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5777854594703553858.post-58022068930037513502014-07-15T20:59:27.197-07:002014-07-15T20:59:27.197-07:00i like the image of death as a river - and when it...i like the image of death as a river - and when it is our time we will set out... i can also feel the longing in your words to meet those that crossed it already... what a reunion that will be...Claudiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03011763027311966186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5777854594703553858.post-78063982955407548272014-07-14T21:07:20.768-07:002014-07-14T21:07:20.768-07:00"these words are a pathway"… I echo ever..."these words are a pathway"… I echo everything said above!Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00007201357693227614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5777854594703553858.post-59072104523982032862014-07-14T15:22:43.945-07:002014-07-14T15:22:43.945-07:00Lovely, and sweet, adorable images of doggy dear!Lovely, and sweet, adorable images of doggy dear!21 Witshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00071361755673253230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5777854594703553858.post-33743080012920061772014-07-14T09:29:07.748-07:002014-07-14T09:29:07.748-07:00This is beautiful, Sherry.This is beautiful, Sherry.Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16619199535376925989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5777854594703553858.post-21039011767535126842014-07-14T07:28:12.598-07:002014-07-14T07:28:12.598-07:00having those companions to walk life with us...pri...having those companions to walk life with us...priceless...and the end..having them gone on before us...we will join them again...when th time is right...and when it does it will be a relief and reunion...but not yet...<br /><br />powerful poem sherryBrian Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00722940075884718007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5777854594703553858.post-44887462296547758032014-07-14T00:15:14.403-07:002014-07-14T00:15:14.403-07:00beautiful......intense.......!beautiful......intense.......!Sreejahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01395234979504881964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5777854594703553858.post-91756061394757207152014-07-13T22:36:51.881-07:002014-07-13T22:36:51.881-07:00this is stunning, Sherry ~this is stunning, Sherry ~Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5777854594703553858.post-36018888871760682982014-07-13T22:12:09.279-07:002014-07-13T22:12:09.279-07:00"You always did go before me on the path.

Given the fantastic vision of the ponds of death and their visitors i can see she is unafraid. Yet it is not time yet--a refrain that implies it is not entirely her decision, but somewhat is--and she chooses life. I like this very much.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05723639294340760325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5777854594703553858.post-75675419459089736372014-07-13T13:08:59.751-07:002014-07-13T13:08:59.751-07:00Amazing poem..
