JOE 1946 - (nfs)-Waldorf Astoria, NYC.
.
A very dear friend sent me this poem, c/r: Billie Jo Ferrin , when I shared this photo with them. I was touched so much by their thoughtfulness, to find it to comfort me. Thank you amore......It was some time in early April, last year...of course, I kept it..........
"Just when I think the world has me beat
My two angels help me to my feet
They are always there whenever I call
Ready to catch me if I fall
They always know exactly what to say
To make sure I have the perfect day
Never having to wonder if they have gone
Their shoulder is always there to cry on
Knowing how to catch all the tears
Makes them wise beyond their years
You will see the most unbreakable ties
When you look into their beautiful eyes
We have a bond you will never see
So take my hand and follow me
Wait until you meet the angels of mine
They will make sure everything is perfect and fine
I am grateful knowing...
I can count on your strength
Ask for your support, and know you'll go to any length
When I lose my way
You help me get back on track
When in pain
Your comfort soothes and brings me back
I am lucky because...
When I was sad you gave me faith and hope
When I was confused you taught me how to cope
When I felt I couldn't go on
You carried me long miles
When I didn't believe,
You restored my smiles."
You restored my smiles, too, my amore.
I still have the violin, sigh.......it has traveled so far, and is "cracked", but the bow is stil in excellent condition. It is the one on which I learned............

... THE THOUGHTS AND POETRY ALONE ARE WORTH "THE PRICE OF ADMISSION." Your homage brings us closer to the next wonderful world where they are waiting -- so tender Vivian.
