Found in dusty antique gloom
this pretty ormolu frame, not new!
I picked you up and placed you safe,
with memories flooding mind of you…
Another face it must have held
fortune, fate, for there’s no doubt.
A loved ones face for I am sure,
the curves that made romantic feel
within my hands; dreams and whirls.
Perhaps a dear beloved wife
with pretty curls and soft sweet smile?
I turned this frame of memories old,
it felt smooth and cold but still with life.
Possible a child’s face lived there?
That someone loved long time before
beloved, remembered, for many years.
I couldn’t really leave it there,
in dusty antique gloom.
For I have a face that would look back,
that I could set beneath this glass.
A handsome face with special smile
perpetual,that would remain awhile.
This dusty frame with pretty curves,
would then continue on its way
to make a place for another to stay?

I believe your poetry skills are getting more fine tuned with every one… and it seems a perfect frame for the precious face of Hamada to look out upon you every day. Blessings, friend – X0

What better way to honor your memories and keep a glimmer of somebody else’s alive! Your love story just keeps getting better, thank you, Susie.

Amazing that a solitary frame could inspire such beautifully penned words. Absolutely beautiful! And will be even more so when we see that “handsome face with special smile” set beneath the glass. Looking forward to it. Much Love, Lora

Hi Susie. You might remember that I contacted you a while ago through Friends Reunited. At that time you were nursing Hamada and he seemed to be showing signs of improvement. I am so sorry to have learned belatedly of his passing. You and he were so obviously very close and I’m sure it was your love and determination that gave him such truly amazing strength. I hope you and your lovely family are coping with the premature loss of the love of your lives. Kindest regards Mike
