TO WHISPER To whisper is to dust some little words around a sigh A gathering of angels is a child’s lullaby Laughter is the fun of life that bubbles from within A smile rests upon your face, but deeper than your skin To open up the floodgates of the spirit is to weep To lay your weary heart into God’s cradle is to sleep Wishing is to visualize a rainbow’s golden end Sneezing is to beg a little blessing from friend Good Morning is what truly spins the planet into play Coughing lets you hesitate and think of what to say Skipping measures happiness and teardrops measure pain Band-Aids are for sympathy, umbrellas are for rain Waking is like opening your secret dreams to light Memories are photographs of life in black and white Hugging is what everybody does before they part Kissing is a universal whisper from the heart Silence is the song that roses sing in morning’s chill Dreaming is what poets do before they lift a quill Elizabeth Santos |

Liz, Poetry in it's purest form. My favorite line, "Good Morning is what truly spins the planet into play" Doc |

Yes. All, but especially the two ending lines. Fragrant. ·´~`·»Garapan«·´~`· "Look! Crumbs on his jacketses... Heeee took it!" |

I loved all your definitions, but these two are my favorites: "Laughter is the fun of life that bubbles from within Kissing is a universal whisper from the heart" ...excellent...enjoyed |

My father's "good morning" always smelled like rich coffee...it was always a delight. These are good memories, Lady Santos...and I abide that they shall always be so. |
