Despite the pain, despite remorse And little words that hurt, of course Though years have put us far apart Yet laughter sometimes fills my heart For life has always offered me A dose of generosity It seems that I can always find Some humor in the wells of time And if some day I cannot laugh I’d suffer on my own behalf I would not ever let them see A person that’s not me, you see For I am prone to see the best The sunset skies from east to west And leave behind an ocean’s swell Of crystal tears that never fell [This message has been edited by Elizabeth Santos (08-17-2009 11:09 AM).] |

This is one of the reasons you have always been my greatest inspiration, Liz. And, you always will be. I always look for your poems. This is beautiful, as always! |

Liz, Sue is so right. You are an inspiration and you are an incredible poet. I love your poems for both reasons. There's a light about them that must come from you. Thank you for sharing again with us. Alison |

Such a great treatment of the used to be and what could have beens and the silent ache either way. One question. On this: I’d suffer on my own behalf I world not ever let them see Did you mean, "I would not ever let them see"? |

It's all a matter of perspective, isn't it? This is a wonderfully positive write, Liz. |
