Sing of your Glory Days Sing of your glory days, unfullfilled dreams Tell tales of ventures and opportune schemes Then sit at the table surrounded by love This is truly what you should be proudest of Go to the picnic and brag of your past Great things that happened and went by too fast Then grab your young child and go for a swim The true life your living is really in him Don’t get caught up in fantasies, it is too late Don’t think of what may or may not be your fate The present is full of more dreams than before And they all seem to gather at your kitchen door The riches you wished for are all within sight Sitting around the dinner table tonight They bring you such pleasure without any schemes And they are the answers to all of your dreams Hang on to each moment without one regret Your child’s tender years you will never forget The time that you’ve struggled, don’t ever condemn The best part of your life are these moments with them Keep your priorities ever in sight Then give each one a kiss and tell them good night Elizabeth Santos |

If we could all just remember the lessons of your work. I'm adding it to my Library and will take it out each time I get off track. Thank you for sharing, your work here is truly a gift. |

I have said exactly the same thing about the last 4 or 5 may be more of your poems I have read, and this is no different a truly professional work of art . Your biggest fan . L.of.L. Tom . Don't try, do or do not, there is no try . - Master Yoda - |
