All of the senses that I am feeling All of the visions deep in my eyes These are the gifts the earth has bestowed me Deep in the valleys, and high in the skies I cannot write all the joy that is flowing I cannot see to the depths of the well But I have felt a comfort in knowing My story is greater than what I can tell No book of knowledge speaks of the passion Nor can my love be contained on a page There is no space that’s ample to harbor Wisdom that’s gathered with time and with age So let life itself be the source of my verses Its eyes meeting mine, gazing strait in my face Even with all the living behind me Life still continues to put me in my place Elizabeth Santos |

Another great lesson to be learned from our dearest Lizzie today. Life sure put me in my place today, right on my butt, on the hard ice. You would think I'd learn I am not a teenager anymore wouldn't you?  |

Wonderful writing Elizabeth, as usual. So many people go through life with nearsightedness. A true poet will see and delight in the miracles all around her. Love Joyce |
