Man and Woman A man became the world within her pure ingenuous eyes He lit the brightness of her smile, the black of midnight skies New purpose given to each task, new joy in every laugh New meaning to intention and direction of her path A woman came into his world and turned his life around The lightness of his footstep now was solid on the ground New dreams into the future lay, new visions to the mind The honor of his manhood leaving shallow dreams behind A man has left his father and a father now become A child upon the stairway is the brightness of his sun A woman left her mother and in glory given birth Fulfilling her exquisite role of greatest human worth The past has been regenerated into present hours The gifts of life are visible in heart’s most cherished flowers The future’s being lived within the scent of a bouquet That will appear in springtime’s breeze, and fill a heart some day Elizabeth Santos |

Beautiful Elizabeth just beautiful work! "The past has been regenerated into present hours The gifts of life are visible in heart’s most cherished flowers The future’s being lived within the scent of a bouquet That will appear in springtime’s breeze, and fill a heart some day" A pleasure to read! |

If anyone ever had a family to inspire beautiful poetry it is you for sure, and this one is absolutely beautiful Liz, just like those that inspire it. The most valuable thing you own is a smile, wear it, and share it. |

Whenever I see your name, as author of a post, I always know that I will open a tome of enjoyment... and it has been true of every single piece you have written, Liz... this one being no exception.... It was so very well written and full of meaning.  ~ hugs from a friendLyra |

Such a wonderful poem. Falling in love is a beautiful experience & the renewal of life is such a precious gift. To watch it grow into adulthood & renew itself is a special gift to cherish... Paul |

"The past has been regenerated into present hours The gifts of life are visible in heart’s most cherished flowers The future’s being lived within the scent of a bouquet That will appear in springtime’s breeze, and fill a heart some day" (big hugggssssss) Oh Elizabeth, this is beautiful, I love it, this brought tears to my eyes because I feel Joanna is this "woman" that has turned my life around so I can relate to the happiness this poem delivers! (kiss on cheek) God Bless You, sweet friend, this is excellent, 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..." |
