You gazed into my eyes tonight I spied a glimmer of delight A smile filled with heaven’s grace So swiftly spread across your face Alone we were, just you and me Enraptured in sweet reverie These times of ponder are the best By far more special than the rest I gazed into your eyes tonight You filled my soul with sheer delight You touched my hand and then my face A moment safe from time’s erase Those eyes that will a future see Long after I shall cease to be Tonight have told me I am blessed They’ll not forsake me when I rest They’ll carry me long past this night Remembering long gone delight Recalling well this time and place When we were touched by heaven’s grace And through your eyes I too will see Those future days still yet to be Long after I am laid to rest They'll sing for me that we were blessed. 01/10/2000 (For my grandson, Christian Michael, that little sweetie!) < !signature--> Denise [This message has been edited by dsnyder (edited 01-10-2000).] |

Denise: Lovely, made me think back.. HUGS 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. |

Very nice the sound, the flow happiness to every line as I go Well done and calming The ability to describe life with words is similar to painting a picture; both can be powerful tools. |

I love poetry inspired by children. It's so beautiful, loving and tender. Great job! It matters not how strait the gate; How charged with punishments the scroll; I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul. --W.E. Henley |
