I remember a poem from the early 1950's called Gods Windows"  I would love to be able to find it again.

This isn't it, is it?\n\nWindow Shopper\n   \n \n  I stood before a candy shop\nWhich with a Christmas radiance shone;\nI saw my parents pass and stop\nTo grin at me and then go on.\nThe sweets were heaped in gleamy rows;\nOn each I feasted - what a game!\nAgainst the glass with flatted nose,\nGulping my spittle as it came;\nSo still I stood, and stared and dreamed,\nSavouring sweetness with my eyes,\nDevouring dainties till it seemed\nMy candy shop was paradise.\n\nI had, I think, but five years old,\nAnd though three-score and ten have passed,\nI still recall the craintive cold,\nThe grimy street, the gritty blast;\nAnd how I stared into that shop,\nIts gifts so near and yet so far,\nOf marzipan and toffee drop,\nOf chocolate and walnut bar;\nImagining what I would buy\nAmid delights so rich and rare . . . \nThe glass was misted with my sigh:\n"If just one penny Pop could spare!"\n\nAnd then when I went home to tea\nOf bread and butter sparsely spread,\nOh, how my parents twitted me:\n"You stood for full an hour," they said.\n"We saw you as we passed again;\nYour eyes upon the sweets were glued;\nYour nose was flattened to the pane,\nLike someone hypnotized you stood."\nBut when they laughed as at a joke,\nA bitterness I could not stem\nWithin my little heart awoke. . . .\nOh, I have long forgiven them;\nFor though I know they did no own\nPennies to spare, they might, it seems\nMore understanding love have shown\nMore sympathy for those vain dreams,\nWhich make of me with wistful gaze\nGod's Window Shopper all days. \n\nRobert W.

I am so sorry for the loss of your sister and great grandson. How deeply heartbreaking. I lost my 18 yr. old daughter, Jill, in a car accident on August 2, 2002 and her birthday is coming up on March 14th. I have a memorial site for Jill and it has lots and lots of poems on several of her pages. Some of them are copyright that were written just for me and my daughter and others are not.  You are welcome to visit Jill's memorial site and especially look on her birthday and anniversary pages and you are welcome to highlight and copy them.  As long as they were not written exclusively for me and my daughter, you are welcome to use any of the poems you would like.  If you have any questions, or need further direction on finding poems, please feel free to e-mail me at peggyrose011058@aol.com.  God bless you and my prayers are with you, Peggy (myangeljill)
