With Age Age has slowly now refined the gracious word, the soul and mind enriched the thought, the verse, the rhyme enhanced the bloom upon the vine It’s not the years, but miles tread that strenthens heart’s most fragile thread But nothing can erase the dread of having left three words unsaid Elizabeth Santos |

It wasn't me? *G* Sorry, Elizabeth... all I'm getting with age is old... and I said those other words once too often. LOL This is beautiful, flowing with rhythm and filled with truth.... and headed into my library. *S* |

With age, brevity reigns, supreme thought, feelings wrought bring rain |

Elizabeth - This is truly wonderful. I enjoyed. Chris Life is not measured by breaths you take, but by moments that take your breath away. |

 BRAVO!!! Wonderful!!! Yes, through time age is defined, though there is yet so much more to look upon and discover, which is the wonders of inspiration! (big hugggssssss) I love it, dearest friend! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Elizabeth, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

With Gray Age, retired rocking chair days On the front porch and watching the highways Pondering the future’s words to be spoke If someone comes making silence broke. Planning to tell them if they happen by, Like the clouds drifting in the clear blue sky. Remembering not being with gray head, Echoes of forgotten words never said. Gloom |

Those three little words are the most important in the universe and you have said it well - but then you always do! Lovely Elizabeth. ~*~ Carpe' Diem ~*~ |

I have left unsaid the three most important words no more left unsaid I now tell you I love you I must show that I love you Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write. |

someone once told me they should be said each time, as if it were the very last and believe me, I know this is so. Lovely, Elizabeth, just lovely. -befriend yourself and you will never be alone- |
