For Elizabeth and Tony Santos soft sounds of silence speak when love is ready for the better of worse come again and kiss me love before Death comes with his hearse hold me close again my heart as I gaze upon thy face this final time let me peer into thine eyes for they do rival the star's bright shine and at the final end of this long day through the dark of the lonely night know we would have had no other way to share this love so right for our lives are but a grain of sand in time's fragile glass but the love shared by this gold band eases me now as I pass so slip, my love, this band 'round your heart in the knowledge of this love that charted the heavens and moon, the stars and sun that forever my love, you'll be the only one and now that my journey has ended I am thankful thy heart I befriended weep not for me my love as I go for I leave happy, for thy love I did know --------------------------------------------------------------- That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl |

Sven, this is so lovely, and you have me in tears...this is most remarkable... Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |

for our lives are but a grain of sand in time's fragile glass but the love shared by this gold band eases me now as I pass so slip, my love, this band 'round your heart in the knowledge of this love that charted the heavens and moon, the stars and sun that forever my love, you'll be the only one and now that my journey has ended I am thankful thy heart I befriended weep not for me my love as I go for I leave happy, for thy love I did know ================== you took your poetry to a new level with this tribute ... and earned the higher respect that comes with it... this is a very special poem ... truly jm Sprayed across my heart and hers Danced butterflies in the wild This angel, this woman , who loves me with the innocence of a child. ~DeVante~ |

Sven, Touching and heartfelt tribute. Beautifully written with elegance and grace. Well well done.  LW Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats |
