Intentions In still of evenings soft repose Thoughts of the day become exposed Unfinished tasks etched in your mind Are to tomorrow’s deeds assigned The greatest plans of life emerge With strong intentions they converge And lying back upon the bed You solve the problem in your head With obligation’s plan complete Your conscience drifts right off to sleep When morning comes and swallow sings Your mind’s refreshed with newer things Somehow the glory of the day Sweeps your intentions right away The problem that you took to bed Has stepped aside and left your head Intentions do not solve your plight They only help you sleep at night Elizabeth Santos [This message has been edited by Elizabeth Santos (edited 08-02-2000).] |

When morning comes and swallow sings Your mind’s refreshed with newer things Somehow the glory of the day Sweeps your intentions right away The problem that you took to bed Has stepped aside and left your head Intentions do not solve your plight They only help you sleep at night ....... What can I say but beautiful... I really like the way your thoughts flow... Liz, My regards, sudhir |

Elizabeth..... This was wonderful to read!! Procrastination is the name of the game. I think we humans invented it just so we'd have a reason to believe there'd be a tomorrow!! ~~ To Live is to Give ~~ |

Elizabeth, How true the words you have written here in this work of yours. The following lines, how well you put them together, and how true they are. Somehow the glory of the day Sweeps your intentions right away The problem that you took to bed Has stepped aside and left your head |
