For Chana

I will miss the inquisitive questions

About what I meant by a phrase

I will miss the empathy and suggestions

The smiles from both sides we raised

I will miss the heartfelt yearnings

Expressed so adamantly well

I will miss the rememberences in song

Sent back and forth to tell

Of times and places we had known

Those taken by deaths' knell

I miss the curious expressions

Revealed in stanzas many

The care for others impressions

As though it mattered any

But most of all I miss the knowing

That you'll not read my words

Or a scene in photos showing

The sights I share, or what I've heard

I will miss the works you gave

The words helping all to mend

From daily slights, to those who rave

These new insights now must end.

BBFN Chana.

My such a lovely tribute. I think you've spoken the words so many hearts feel and so well. My sadness is that I was just getting to know Chana and now will have no more time. Her poetry and unique comments will suffice as they must. thank you for sharing.

Georgiana S. Sep 10, 2009, 11:23pm EDT

we have a backlog of her works

Barbara H. Sep 10, 2009, 11:41pm EDT

That's what I liked about Chana... she really wanted to know each and every one of us... she had such a big heart... it just wasn't big enough to contain how special she was. She will be missed. Wonderful tribute, Georgiana

Oh Georgiana, how beautiful your words. You captured that essence of friendship that she offered so many of us.

You two had a lot in common, in my eyes. Hugs always to you, my friend.
