Question: Comments on a poem about three ground hogs!?
lonely ground hog stuck out her head
but something was missing!.!.!.!.!.
no,
it wasn't the sun
it was the shadow that
had always been there

every year on this day
her sister, dear,
appeared
to celebrate
their shared birthday

first time in 59 years
she wasn't there
last year she passed away
lonely ground hog shed
many a tear
wanting her shadow
to be near

but God in His infinite wisdom
8 years ago this same day
arranged something
too clever for words
a grandson was born
to share day

she dried her tears and
picked up the phone
as she had done
every year before
the shadow had changed
yet remained the same
birthday greetings
were exchanged
between
ground hogs


Dedicated to the memory of my sister, to my grandson and I guess to me, who all share a Ground Hog Day birthday!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Your poem is well penned
your sentiments, tributes remembered
of very warm heart that you cherish
in joyous celebration, and I wish your day well,
Yet, I have to say, the name ground hound
sends shivers up my spine, brings goose bumps to skin,
as on 15 acres of woods they can dig in to China and back,
but no! they like close to the house and at times any foundation,
at those times I wish, I could be Annie Oakley, and have the guts to shoot them! Happy future birthday and many more!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

*hugs* to you ma!. just yesterday mom was talking to me, about how it's so sad to get old and lose your siblings!. she was from a family of 6 kids, she's the youngest, at 83, of three left!. two sisters are both in nursing homes, one with alzheimers!. they were always so close, coming here from norway in 1928!. when you're young you never think about how things will end up, she never thought she's be the one left with all the memories, it's sad for her not to have them here to talk to with about the "old days"!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
