Something Wonderful Will Happen
(This poem was written for a dear friend
You know who you are)

It will happen without warning some day very soon
As sure as there’s a Mississippi and an August moon
As sure as whippoorwill keeps singing his familiar tune
Something very wonderful is bound to happen soon

Life will be much happier and much better by and by
Just as the stars and stripes fly much more proudly in July
As sure as there’s a Southern Cross up in the southern sky
The one true love your looking for will never pass you by

You’re much to young to worry about the one love that is true
All the things you know about will some day come to you
Just wait a little longer and I promise this to you.
When you’re a woman, you will know a love you never knew

Just concentrate on all the things that you’re required to do
Your success in all this learning time will somehow see you through
Then one day in the future when you least expect him to
He’ll walk into you life and he will give his heart to you

As sure as there’s a Southern Cross up in the southern sky
You’ll fall in love one day, without even knowing why

Elizabeth Santos

Liz this is so wonderful, such wise words for a young one. Maybe she will not understand straight away what you mean but she will in time.
Lovely poem Liz

Dear Liz; Wise and wonderful poet, you have written as a loving mother would to a beloved daughter. I'm sure she was put at peace after reading this beautiful loving poem. Love, Ellie

Summers haunting melody
that awakens
the butterflies,
calling them to join
the dance
in their silent song
of praise to God.
