We mourn the loss of those we love We weep the tears of pain But with each tear the heart gives up The more it can contain A deeper breath of spring we breathe A warmer sun we reap A better dance the heart will spin And higher will it leap More lustrous is the silver moon More radiantly it glows More tranquil is the morning mist And softer is the rose For now our sorrow must be spent And tears must find release So weep, dear heart, until you wake To find your day of peace Elizabeth Santos |

More lustrous is the silver moon More radiantly it glows More tranquil is the morning mist And softer is the rose Dear Elizabeth this beautiful poem is a real delight to read. A real touch of class. Much enjoyed. Lindsay |

We do miss the ones that once touched our hearts, don't we, Lady Santos? A beautiful, touching tribute to those who have passed on.  |

This is gorgeous! Indeed, those whom we have loved or once loved, whether they have passed away or have simply left our lives to move on, will continue to touch our hearts forever. Intellectually I know that Canada is no better than any other country. Emotionally I KNOW that Canada is the best country in the world! |

This is beautiful and wise as usual, and gave me an epiphany. Thank you. I had thought along these lines in a vague sort of way, but you put it so clearly. You are so right. The more we suffer loss, the more sensitive we are to the gifts of family, friends, animals and the glory of Nature. Owl |

I do not believe that I can find the words to do this poem justice. It is so difficult to lose a loved one but I do find solace in this. |
