Thank you, dear poet friends For every storm that passes through The meadows of our lives There is a place of welcome shelter Where the soul survives There is a tree adorned with leaves To wait and stay the storm Each leaf there to protect and hold The spirit in its warmth For every raindrop pouring down The wild grassy field There is a ray of sunlight waiting Which the storm will yield A large umbrella overhead Protecting from above There is a canopy of friends To give and share their love For every friend there is a prayer For every prayer there is a light For every light there is a hope For heart's survival in the night Until the storm has passed on by And meadow turns to dry There is a rainbow come to light To dry the weary eye And I have true been blessed with these A shelter from the storm A canopy embracing me A blanket soft and warm A rainbow lit to fill the skies Illuminating dark And I can hear the warbling Of song-filled meadow lark Elizabeth Santos [This message has been edited by Elizabeth Santos (edited 01-21-2000).] |

I'm impressed with your poem I sense a certain amount of sad words in it? But it is well written We have to thank you "dear" The ability to describe life with words is similar to painting a picture; both can be powerful tools. |

In the soft glow of friendship what you give ... you shall receive No greater love have you been shown that what you've given me A canopy of friendships prayers is sent to One above until the sun comes out again to warm you in our love Wrap the quilt of friendship around your shoulders, friend The hearts where love resides really has no end ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

Beautiful poem, and my prayers are still with you two as well! ~*~ ^i^ ~*~ Love is such a lonely art, and death is but a taste. Minds are merely instruments that often go to waste! ~*~ ^i^ ~*~ |

Elizabeth, may this site be an outlet for all of the emotions you and Tony will be going through in days to come...vent, release, grasp, hug, smile, cry...you do whatever you want...we will be here for you and Tony both. Prayers are coming from all over many angels come to hover gathering together is what we do all on behalf of Tony and you. Sunshine Look, then, into thine heart, and write ~~~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow |

Elizbeth: Absolutely stunning..  I'm off to bed now but I'll be looking for an update from someone in the morning. Big HUSG sweetheart Don't ask me where I'm going, just listen when I'm gone and far away you'll hear me singing softly to the dawn. |

Liz, with such strong faith showing in your beautiful poetry, and the "wall of prayer" going up around you and Tony, you may rest assured that God will bless you both and hold you in the hollow of His hand. Frieda and I are praying for you too, now. Warm greetings, Willem |

Dear Poet Friends, All of your comments are being read by me, Tony and our children and I want you to know they have meant so much to us at this time. Though you've never seen our faces, you surround us with love, and shower us with blessings, and these things have truly warmed our hearts, and I want to thank you for all you've done Liz |
