I'm Watching MAG

By Anonymous

Almost daily
The little feet
Would patter their way
Through the snow

Almost daily
I could hear
The screeches of pain
And laughter commencing

Almost daily
I knew
That I would see her
Come up the steps
Bid me adieu

Almost daily
Those little feet
Would scamper away
And leave me
Alone

Almost daily
I would smile
Hug her tenderly
And watch
As she ran

Almost daily
I said good-bye
And cried as I watched
Her little feet
Grow smaller

Almost daily
I knew
I’d never see her again

I&#039;ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel. <br /> - Maya Angelou <br /> When i was little/I used to point a chubby finger toward the dark sky/And ask my father/why some stars moved and others didn&rsquo;t/He would laugh and explain that some were airplanes/I still wish on them today ~ Laugh-It-Out<br /> The feathers of a crow are black/The ink of my pen is blacker/The pain of my heart is blackest~ Mckay<br /> If love produced a blossom/I&rsquo;d take it in my palm/What a blessing, the bright color!/How soothing, such a balm!/I&rsquo;d keep a petal for my own/The rest, drop from my hands/For such a flower would multiply/And populate the lands~ thesilentraven<br /> And I began to rival legends/Long entombed before my birth./But for all my much envied fame/The lust for more would not abate./The plaques and prizes with my name/Will, like all things, disintegrate. ~ TheEpic95 now known as Helena_Noel

This is so so heartfelt, but who is "she" ...that would make the understanding process much easier..Thank You! Loved the poem though.
