Who’s to Say? The knife cuts deeply to the core The spirit bleeds forever more A pain to last a whole life long But who’s to say if it is wrong We loved beside a diamond bay That flashed the sun in bright of day And glittered in the starry night But who’s to say that it was right Dark shadows danced around the two Not wanting joy for me and you I’ll never know until this day Just what went wrong, but who’s to say Unhappiness would be my fate But wisdom always comes too late I look at life as one big stage The eye more sensitive with age I watch the drama now unfold The truth upon the stage is told I laughed and cried but I was strong And who’s to say that I was wrong Perhaps the love I lost in youth Was never meant to be, in truth It seems that love can cloud our sight But who’s to say that I am right If I were meant to live again The same beginning to the end I’d tread my footprints all along And who’s to say if I am wrong Elizabeth Santos [This message has been edited by Elizabeth Santos (06-04-2002 07:54 PM).] |

Introspection is good as long as you realize there is no right or wrong in what has passed... only in what we will do from this day forward. My thoughts are with you, Lady Santos... |

"Unhappiness would be my fate But wisdom always comes too late I look at life as one big stage The eye more sensitive with age" Love it. Love it a lot! A broken heart may hurt me, but a broken heart won't kill me. |

  (big hugggsssssss) Oh Elizabeth, this is such a wonderful introspective poem, sweet friend, I believe if unhappiness is believed by others to be your fate, always prove them wrong for only you can determine you and I know you will find all the joy and love your heart deserves always! (kiss on cheek) This is wonderful, sweet friend, God Bless You, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Elizabeth, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

Hello Elizabeth Yet another stunning piece of writing with a message for all of us. I guess we all have regrets but we cannot turn back the hands of time, but we can relive our memories and wonder what could have been. Take care......Sue Suetang |

Whose to say it's right or wrong it's just one note in life's song. Yet...it is better to have heard the music even if it is a tad off key than never hearing it at all. Lots of thought in this, which I saved of course  There is nothing means more to me than |

this one touched me, as I knew it well once, and then I let it go, but did I? |
