Perspectives What I see in all of this Is not what others have assumed For life is seen in different ways From different corners of the room Perspective may be quite distinct As from a different point of view But what I see and what I know Is my own way of knowing you So I don't always put much faith In who another says you are The vision from within my eye Is much more dear to me by far And though my friend may sit by me Within my corner of the room He may describe a daffodil While it's a rose that I assume So let his heart decry your name With all authority it knows And I will look upon your soul And savor more the smell of rose Elizabeth Santos |

I really enjoyed this piece Liz.... Wonderful "perspectives" from such a beautiful heart!  A soul that writes from the heart and shares it, truly gives a gift extraordinaire! Shannon |

Dearest Pepper, Thanks so much for your comments and for that riotous Christmas greeting, which I am passing on to all of my politically correct friends. It does illustrate so well how rediculous it all was, but then I was always politically incorrect. Love ya, Liz |

How true, Elizabeth. What I see is just that-what I see. Different people take things differently, which is what makes the world what it is. E. Nail to the mast her holy flag, Set every threadbare sail- And give her to the god of storms, The lightning and the gale! -Oliver Wendell Holmes |

Elizabeth, A rose is a rose, is a rose, But each one of different impose. Your wisdom and clarity, Goes far beyond parity. Another exquisite poem. Love ya, Sy |

Perspective is all... and I perceive that I love this poem! And the truth of it - wonderful work, Liz. (Hope you're having a great christmas day! You can have some of the chocolates I received - phew...) |

Such a shame that more people don't feel this way. Good thoughts, Elizabeth. |
