 Shannon, Come Back She's on a road that leads to God A road that I have never plod For she has conquered certain strife With strength and grace and joy in life Shannon, please come back to me You're heart is young, your spirit free And I have yet to tell you this You are my heaven's starry bliss She is a dainty stole of lace Of silken threads that line her face Through woven veil her piercing eyes Outshine the gleaming night time skies Shannon, please come back to me And walk in nature's ecstasy For I have yet to show you things Where starlings fly and swallow sings She's given me a gift so dear That I will cherish year to year A charm of gold right from her heart Around her neck, the other part Shannon, please come back to me Whatever is will always be But I have yet to let you know The depth of friendship you bestow Shannon, I will promise you A hill of green, a sky of blue A bloom of white on apple tree If you will just come back to me Elizabeth Santos [This message has been edited by Nan (edited 06-29-2001).] |

Thank you, dear friends for the beautiful comments, and Nan, for posting a beautiful face to this poem. I don't know if Shannon can see this since she isn't using her computer. But I will try to get it to her. Thank you all Liz |

Written with such yearning beauty... "Shannon, please come back to me And walk in nature's ecstasy For I have yet to show you things Where starlings fly and swallow sings" Heartstirring work! "Shannon, I will promise you A hill of green, a sky of blue A bloom of white on apple tree If you will just come back to me" Ah Elizabeth my mind has kissed the beauty of these soulful words. Inspiring, intriguing and insightful writing! |

Liz, If I'm ever to be blessed with words echoing these sentiments, I hope it is you who will pen them. Your wonderful style and true heart are incredible. I hope Pepper reads your words, and those you have inspired. |
