Forever Love Nothing is of greater worth Than love of one who gave you birth Or took and loved you as her own A deeper love was never know Your heart is harbored in a place Of warmth and comfort, truth and grace You know that when you sleep at night She’ll still be there in morning’s light You relished in the praise you won Delighted in the world she spun She shaped your future, praised your past And gave you love a life to last A mother is the only one Who stands by all you’ve said and done No matter how much pain you bear Her heart is always waiting there She nourished you in health and soul And led your youth toward honest goals Her courage taught in many ways Has been your strength throughout your days When mother’s living days were gone The love continued on and on Your sorrow’s been consoled and eased Remembering her words and deeds Her love is pure and deep and true And still she’s watching over you She’s there for you in heaven above To bless you with forever love Elizabeth Santos |

Ah Liz ... this is what I needed to read today from you. Simply beautiful! You've captured so many of the wonderful aspects of a Mother's love. I'm so fortunate that my mom and dad are coming over for a visit today. I have yet to write a poem for her for this year, as sometimes I am simply at a loss for words ... but I do have a few hours left before she arrives. You have inspired me ... thank you my friend. It's time for me to find a little nook and write as well.  Best wishes, /Kit |

Elizabeth, You NEVER cease to amaze me! Now that I am a mother of a four year old, I know what my mother meant when she'd say..... Someday you'll understand and boy do I ever. You've captured a mothers love quite well! ~Sheri "The things that come to those that wait may be the things left by those who got there first" [This message has been edited by Irie (edited 05-15-2001).] |

Elizabeth, This is simply beautiful. These were my favorite lines. You relished in the praise you won Delighted in the world she spun She shaped your future, praised your past And gave you love a life to last *appreciating my mother all the more* May His glory be fresh within me. May my heart be renewed in His hand. |
