Love is Only Mortal All my heart can hold within it’s fragrant garden wall Would never fit the measure of my love For sentiment is only but a petal’s weight of all The wealth that was bestowed me from above Love is only mortal, just the same as you and I And will not last the ages of the sea Dimensions of it’s glory is an awe that mystifies And cannot be expressed by you or me Except to say that while it blooms beneath the crimson skies My love for you is an infinity Elizabeth Santos [This message has been edited by Elizabeth Santos (edited 08-06-2001).] |

this is very, very moving, especially the last two lines, they really got to me. " I walked beside the evening sea And dreamed a dream that could not be" George William Curtis" |

love exists. . . that is all. . . wonderfully done my friend. . . ------------------------------------------------------------- To the world, you may only be one person. But to one person, you may be the world. |

Liz--this is such a delight to read. I never thought of love that way, but you're right..it is mortal, and I for one am glad to have it while I can. (maybe one day we'll find that love IS eternal--hope so!) |
