I’d Love to Write a Sonnet

I’d love to write a sonnet just for you
To tell you of the love within my keep
Some gentle phrases just to see you through
Another night of soft and peaceful sleep

My verse would soothe your mind and touch your heart
So sweet would be the words that I’d employ
From out my pen would tenderly depart
The most enchanting wishes for your joy

My love for you cannot be scrolled in ink
Nor would it fit within a sonnet’s phrase
So sad it is to love you and to think
My words must still remain a misty haze

I touch your face, your lips, your lovely hand
So tiny yet, too young to understand

Elizabeth Santos

Perfect and Precious! Sometimes words are not enough to express our love, I agree! Can't wait to meet the newest little guy!

Yes but just think when older how proud to read what "Grandma" wrote.

Call 'em what you will~
Phrases abundant from your quill~
Fall in soft adorn of rhyme~
Across the pages for all time~

*I second the motion to see another beauty from Denise~
