Tomorrow Wings So delicate are life’s tomorrow wings Garnished still in vibrant quills of white That carry us through winter into spring And lift us to an undetermined height We live our days so unaware God’s plan The future hours for which we can’t prepare The changing winds and shifting of the sands Can toss a fragile feather in the air We soar in freedom flight as spirit sings Then look into the sudden face of death So delicate are life’s tomorrow wings So fine the plume, So frail each living breath Elizabeth Santos |

Elizabeth such a beautiful description of the fragility of human life....it seems as if we are so young and vibrant one minute and then chasing the answers to life as we approach the golden years......oh you are so right ...tommorrow wings are so delicate and so vulnerable....but I'm glad they are there to be able to read this excellent poetry that flows into the stream of life from people like yourself to those who need to listen....have a wonderful day dear lady ...and keep sharing your tommorrow wings heart with us...ethome |

this is a superb poem, liz, our lives are fragile, and can always surprise ourselves  - James The beauty of nature is displayed, not through itself, but through the creatures dwelling within its bosom. |

How sweet then, sorrow, when we look upon the 'morrow to know that an angel's wings fly, no longer to be nigh... Holding you and yours in my prayers... Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |

Life is fragile. Beautifully expressed, Elizabeth. Living moment by moment is the only place peace is found. HUGS Denise |

We live our days so unaware God’s plan The future hours for which we can’t prepare The changing winds and shifting of the sands Can toss a fragile feather in the air We soar in freedom flight as spirit sings Then look into the sudden face of death So delicate are life’s tomorrow wings So fine the plume, So frail each living breath ================== So true sweet poet...so much wisdom in this beautiful poem ... I have said this before but it will always bear repeating... you are grace under pressure ... and as Sun so perfectly said above your in our thoughts and prayers ... take care sweet poet we love you and hold you dear jm There are moments ... when I Love you beyond the limits of my human heart ... ...you will always be mine.

So fine the plume, so frail each living breath Very tender write. We know not what tomorrow holds, but we can know who holds our tommorrow's. It'a all in his hands, and there is a higher plan. Deb |
