Soft and gently spoken Disregarding self Her heart is wide and open Her humor as an elf Her family,… her lifeline Connects her to the pen When ever there is strife time She offers hope again Her beloved Tony Is now just moving on Although her heart is lonely She gifts us with her song A song of life and learning A song of grace and peace A soaring song of yearning And bittersweet release As she's stood be others May now all, stand by her In this place, all are brothers She taught us how to share Shown us of God's portrait And followed with His care Her hand reveals a power so great A spirit so aware As her poetry calls me By shadows tinged by loss I sense implicit victory Love's shadow shows the cross Elizabeth my dearling There's one thing I have learned I am but a yearling As far as you're concerned You have taught me so much I always learn from you And your tender love's touch Reveals a heart pure…true Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant - Thoreau |

May I Please Be Happy May I find some seeds of joy among the fields of grief May the beauty of my life adorn my Christmas wreath That all who enter through my door may know that here inside Joy and sorrow hand in hand in depths of soul reside May the happiness I’ve shared so long with one who leaves me now Reflect in fond remembrance upon the Christmas bough That all the little ones will know that sadness fills my heart But does not shroud the season’s joy that Christmas will impart My spirit is uplifted by my friends at passions place Where poets such as Kethry write to me with words of grace My heart is overflowing with the comfort that you bring Through sorrows deepest canyons, contentment’s bells still ring Though some will see the evidence of sorrow on my face Peace and joy and love and hope abound in the same place May the beauty of my life also adorn my Christmas wreath May I find some seeds of joy among the endless fields of grief THank you, Kethry |

Kethry....your compassion is showing, and on you, it glows... Elizabeth, we remain with you, beside you...that love and spirit, guide you... Always... Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |

ethome, I'm so glad you were first in line to praise this wonderful lady. Kit, thank you for responding, I will accept both the prayers and hugs and then... pass them on. Janet, as always...you write my heart. suthern, what a joy it is to be part of this loving and forgiving family Paula, sweet and gentle are two very good words to describe Liz, thank you. Sunshine, I learned from an angel... Liz, Thank you for responding within this thread, I am honoured and humbled. I wish you sunshine after rain I wish that peace will follow pain But most of all When shadows fall Remember love Be well Kethry Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant - Thoreau |
