A Toe-inspired poem There is a Time For every man there is a time to ponder his belief There is a time for butterfly to spread its rainbow sheath For new-hatched bird the time will come to stretch a feathered wing For every soul there is a time to hear the angels sing For every heart there is an hour of sorrow to endure And with the darkness comes awareness unperceived before For every night there is a dawn that’s new and fresh and clean That brings a bright perspective that the eye has never seen A passing shadow on the field for moments hides the sun The knots of gnarled grief in time will also come undone So great will be the joy that we will cup our hands to hold The splendor of a lily as its velvet wings unfold Darkness turns to laughter at the time the heart appoints All that passes is a plan the hand of God anoints There is a time to wipe the wetness out of sorrow’s eye There is a time the timid wing will soar into the sky Elizabeth Santos [This message has been edited by Elizabeth Santos (edited 12-03-2000).] |

Once again, Lady Santos, you show your charm, loving heart, and spirit...and I applaud you... thinking of you... Hugs, Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |

For every man there is a time to ponder his belief There is a time for butterfly to spread its rainbow sheath For new-hatched bird the time will come to stretch a feathered wing For every soul there is a time to hear the angels sing =================== Darkness turns to laughter at the time the heart appoints All that passes is a plan the hand of God anoints There is a time to wipe the wetness out of sorrow’s eye There is a time the timid wing will soar into the sky ==================== you take my words with the grace of this... allow me to echo Balladeers reply as his words are accurate and true the point of being poetic. love you poet of wisdom and grace jm I looked into the sky for my anthem The words and music came through But words and music can never touch the beauty that I've seen Looking into you |
