 I'm sitting in the playhouse Squirrels are running around At morning's dawn it is I think The most peaceful place I've found I've strolled around the block Saw the rising of a colored sun Acacia trees unfolded their leaves My last day here had just begun I wrote a poem last night About this place I've been About a Queen in Paradise Where else could she have been When you have never been up here In Pennsylvania that is And never heard the cricket's song You should come to visit Liz She is a lady you should meet I always told you she was a Queen I didn't change my mind a bit After all of her I've seen She has a smile that melts your heart And on her porch I sit Looking into dark sky's night Where all the stars just now were lit She gives you a feeling of coming home This woman for ever stole my heart Her spirit will be travelling along When at my second week I'll start For now I'll listen to the cricket's voice A concert in the stillness of night Thank you Liz, for being you, my friend So much more than a Poetess bright Thanks again Liz for the wonderful days we spend together. And thank you Nan and Ruth for being there too  Titia Like scattered leaves...my words will flow [This message has been edited by Titia Geertman (09-14-2002 11:01 AM).] |

OhTitia~ One can tell that you are having 'the time of your life' ... Your poetry is filled with the beauty of the beautiful people you've met ... How very much a gracious guest and friend you are~ I hear that our LizzyLady has that effect on everyone who meets her~ This is really beautiful my dear lady~ *Hugs* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

Titia ... Liz sounds as gracious and wonderful as Nan described her. How I would love to have sat in the playhouse with you and just listened to nature sing. I am so happy that you are having such a wonderful visit here in America. Hugs, Marti Every now and then take a good look at something not made |

Well Titia, looks like you are having a terrific time. Oh yeah Titia, will you give everyone an extra hug and tell them all it is from me? And, I guess they will have to give you an extra hug to be from me. I am glad you are enjoying your visit here. |
