The Greatest Words The greatest thought I ever heard Was spoken in the truest word Not from the mouth of someone great Not president, nor candidate The finest words came not from sage Nor from a book of weathered age The person was not old or wise Nor winner of a Nobel prize The words were spoken out of truth From one still in the thralls of youth Not from the mask of sheer pretense But from the heart of innocence More deeply felt than prophesies Or words of great philosophies The phrase I was about to hear Touched soft upon a mother’s ear Like lyrics of a written psalm The simple words, “I love you, Mom” Elizabeth Santos [This message has been edited by Elizabeth Santos (edited 10-08-2000).] |

Elizabeth~ This is so timely and so sweet. The sweetest phrase ever my lips did impart were laid upon my mother's heart The sweetest sound I ever heard said to me those same sweet words Thank you for this loving thought. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

they are truly the greatest words  Sometimes you have to let go and move on, But never let go of the memories. |

Liz; Truly, truly the sweetest words of all, that melt our mothers hearts. Wondeful! Love, Ellie Summers haunting melody that awakens the butterflies, calling them to join the dance in their silent song of praise to God. eL |

This is very pretty, and those words really are sweet, almost as sweet as the first time a baby kisses you. To love another person is to see the face of God. - Les Miserables Marilyn |

I'm not a mother yet, unless you count my dog ((I do )) but I can imagine how sweet those words would be coming from a child.. Very good read..  With a little piece of tomorrow, You'll have to kiss yesterday goodbye. Because today won't last forever, And the past will only make you cry. |

Yes, nothing sounds sweeter than when they surprise you with an "I love you"! |
