I Envy the Bud Vase I envy your thoughts bathed in wonder and truth, The smallness of hand and the promise of youth The rhymes you recite and the music that slips So sweetly and purely from innocent lips I envy your spirit, your strength and your pep The shoes that enfold every tiptoeing step The locket that hangs on a little gold chain Right next to your heart many years to remain I envy the waters in playful finesse The way you allow them a total caress Of lathery foam as you plunge into glee Unfettered by vastness and power of the sea I envy the pillow of down on your bed That touches your tresses and cradles your head The coverlet nestled around your sweet face That warms you and hugs you in slumbering embrace I envy the daisy of yellow and white So lovingly chosen and held extra tight I envy the bud vase that it will adorn The source of your pride on a sun shiny morn I envy the ones who embrace you with love I envy your guardian angel above Elizabeth Santos March 23,2003 |

Oh, Liz. If this be envy then all should be so lovingly envied.  It's so wonderful for me to be able to have time to read again. Did you know I spent time reading through some of your book of poems this morning? You are so gifted, my friend. What a treasure this is for your granddaughter.  Best wishes and hugs, /Kit |
