McCall's Farm |
Leiny found this poem among Margie's writings (written 20 years before) |
McCall's Farm, Calverstown
The long armed chestnut
kissing barren ground
beneath leafy branches
waits for me.
That forgotten bridge
which once stood over
a torrent of water
invites my contemplation.
The young oak saplings
bursting to absorb the sun
lure my caress.
I will lie down
in your luscious grasses
and embrace the sky.
June '95.
By Margaret Delaney Wouters.

Oh Leiny, I just saw this moving post today. couldn't bear to revisit Margie's blog. Already more than a year ago, still so sorry. Thank you for sharing (my father passed this August and his ashes were buried below a tree, so comforting). Best wishes from Glengarriff, Co. Cork. Eliane
Thank you for sharing this. I can not bear to remove Margie's blog from my blog roll so found this post (these months later) in that way. I was just going to visit here and read Margie's words and see her work and her family whom she loved so dearly. I feel blessed to have found this post as well.
