If I have but a day Let me spend it with those I love Memorizing faces Visiting places That dry the tears with smiles. If there's only an hour Let me hold your hand Try to understand The miracle that graced my life When I met you. And if my time is over I pray that it is you My eyes last see. For if your voice I hear I know I'll have no doubt That heaven's near. |

This is truly one of the most beautiful poems I have ever read, to be framed and hung on the wall, or to be etched into the minds of all poets. Liz |

Liz, Such a compliment from anyone would be a delight... for it to come from someone whose work I respect and admire leaves me speechless. Thank you! |

Belle This was a very beautiful poem, and a true reflection of the fine spirit that lives within you. You can be such a devil at times, yet you have a sense of beauty about you that shines with a light of its own. Thank you, sweet lady, for this poem. |

Summoning her morning Buzz, Unless of course he's gone because, The only times it seems she posts, Her lovely rhymes is when she boasts, Elucidation of his virtue, Roaring laughter from the bayou, Nephews love our lovely auntie.... Another lovely poem auntie!!!  |
