The Purest Love You are the sun to light my face You are the rose to please my eye And deep inside my heart you are The soothing of a lullaby You’ve given purpose to my day And sparkling stars to shine above To blanket me with canopies Of sweetest kiss and purest love You are the nectar of the flower The honeysuckle’s sweetest dew And you reflect the halo glow Of angels now surrounding you You’ve brought me back to innocence With looks of honesty and grace With laughter bursting from inside You put a smile on this old face How can a grandchild small and mild Give new perspective to my fears And drown the sorrows that have been Inside my heart for many years Elizabeth Santos |

Elizabeth So gentle the words. Heartfelt and touching. A child can light up our life, with just one smile, and open our heart to love once more. Deb |

Liz, the healing love for and of a child, and I can only imagine, but especially a grandchild, holds the Grace of the Ages. This is a divine recognition of that purest love, my friend...just beautiful! ~ Claire Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?......Henry David Thoreau |

Liz, this is a beautiful tribute to your grandchild! It must be a wonderful feeling to feel this kind of love. You describe it well. "We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars." -Oscar Wilde "The robbed that smiles steals something from the thief" -Shakespea |

With the title I thought immediately of children...I see this light that you speak of in my father's eyes when he looks at my children...it will be a pleasure to share this poem with him. Thank you so much, this is beautiful work~ |
