My Fame and Glory There is no luster to my life No noted glory, no noted fame For I have never sought a dream Or felt completed in the same But I have known some days of triumph Through my children's precious deeds And felt the glory and the pride To which their honor always leads Prestigious art awards for one Another writes outstanding prose One whose character is awarded A queen whose inner beauty shows And none of these things have I done No talents ever came to light But glancing through the family albumns I was awakened at the sight All the little birthday parties All the guests from overseas All the Christmas gatherings All the little bandaged knees And that has been my fame and glory The daily care, the daily love Which reaped so many fine awards To which my spirit soared above Elizabeth Santos |

Elizabeth, Your writing always mists my eyes, Makes me laugh, makes me cry. You have the touch, no mystery, You are well logged, my history. *L* Sy |

Denise and Marilyn, Both of you seem to have experienced the same, thank you for your comments. Denise, get back to work! Liz Sy, I'm glad you like this poetry You are a teacher of verse to me For I have learned so much from you Not only of rhyme but what is true And if you say you like what you see That is quite an honor to me Liz |

Elizabeth, I genuflect and doff my hat, I'm heavy for size but not that fat. *L* |

Lizzy - you have your own writing to provide luster, my friend. Who needs fame or glory when you have poetry I think. This is gorgeous. K |
