I’d Love to Write a Sonnet I’d love to write a sonnet just for you To tell you of the love within my keep Some gentle phrases just to see you through Another night of soft and peaceful sleep My verse would soothe your mind and touch your heart So sweet would be the words that I’d employ From out my pen would tenderly depart The most enchanting wishes for your joy My love for you cannot be scrolled in ink Nor would it fit within a sonnet’s phrase So sad it is to love you and to think My words must still remain a misty haze I touch your face, your lips, your lovely hand So tiny yet, too young to understand Elizabeth Santos [This message has been edited by Elizabeth Santos (edited 08-15-2001).] |

Perfect and Precious! Sometimes words are not enough to express our love, I agree! Can't wait to meet the newest little guy! |

"I touch your face, your lips, your lovely hand So tiny yet, too young to understand" Yes but just think when older how proud to read what "Grandma" wrote. |

Elizabeth~ Call 'em what you will~ Phrases abundant from your quill~ Fall in soft adorn of rhyme~ Across the pages for all time~ *I second the motion to see another beauty from Denise~  *Hugs* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |
