Beauty-Defined~ Poem by Theodora (Theo) Onken

Beauty-Defined~

Rating: 5.0


I can't remember tuna sanwiches
Ever tasting so good
Or chicken noodle soup, so tasty;
Must have always been the cook;
The company that i was blessed
To keep...
Back in the day when big-hearted
People were scarce;
When their smiles and uplifting
Words raised me up out of the
Dodrums of sad and confused;
She was like that you know-my Joyce...
A ray of blessed sunshine in the
Cold Seattle rain; And her laughter-
Her laughter was contagious-
And even after all of these years
I can still remember it! ;
What a gift she was-
A best friend, confidant and an
Angel in disguise;
Today, i find myself hungry for
Those tuna sandwich days...
And her sweet smile that would
Warm and assure the saddest and
Most confused of hearts;


I Miss you Joyce
And i love you.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Loosing her was a great loss to so many. She did not have to die.
Cigarettes took her life in the same way they took my mothers...
Don't smoke. If you do, quit. The time IS NOW!

Thanks for the comment. on the butterfly poem...yes it was a typing error and I thought I had deleted the poem, , I have just deleted it sadly I deleted the wrong one for your comments have gone too. Regarding Facebook I am no good at navigating that I had no idea clicking friends put them on my sight. I had hundreds, never conversed with anybody so my grandson deleted my Facebook and set up a new one with only my family as friends. you can delet this for it does not fit for a comment and I will re admit the poem comment.
