Sweet Blessings Some day your sweet blessings will clearly appear Though not seen this moment or even this year For hardships have blinded the innocent eye To wonders of life that are passing you by If tears could unfold all the love you possess Inside of a heartbeat, in moment’s caress You’d recognize now what you save til the end The joys wrought of family, of child and friend If sorrow could make golden ribbons untie Unleashing the blessings that silently lie In every footstep, in every breath Surrounding your essence from birth until death You’d not have to wait til the coming of age To recognize glory that’s scrolled on each page Your joys are endowed in mysterious ways Behind youthful tears in a blanketing haze Some day you’ll look back on those days full of strife As the garden of hope and the purpose of life We strangely consider the times filled with tears As the most splendid moments, the best of our years Elizabeth Santos 8/7/01 |

The urge to cliche here is endless...the silver lining....smelling the roses....the good with the bad. In truth, it's never all bad but simply life as some know it. Enjoyed. "Oh what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to decieve" |

Have I told you lately how much I appreciate your writing and just the simple fact that you are you and you are here! Well, I do  " I walked beside the evening sea And dreamed a dream that could not be" George William Curtis" |

Opposites such as there is no joy without sorrow, no laughter without tears, etc. are all responsible for happy balance in life, and you just wrote the secret to taking the best out of the load we are given to keep in the "black" and not the "red". A wonderfully inspiring poem, and I thank you. ~ To see real beauty you must look with your heart ~ |
