For LeeJ The beauty of face Is her feminine wealth But her treasures lie deep In the beauty of self For she knows well of heartache And knows well of pain And her smile is the rainbow That breaks through the rain She glides down the rivers Of sorrow and grief In a vessel she’s carved From the core of belief In her spiritual well being Lie wisdom and truth That were fashioned of need In an innocent youth Her pure waters of life Flow abundantly fast But her eye of remembrance Seeps into the past It’s an eye bathed in blueness Where a tear gently swells It’s the stream that has risen From childhood wells She loves like no other With love she would live If another would harvest The love she could give And she laughs with a laughter As bright as the sun And her spirit swirls ’round In a friendship she’s won She declares her convictions From where tenets begin For her faith abides deep In the waters within Her endeavors are laced With an honorable goal For her purpose lies deep In the wells of her soul Her face is the mask Made of beautiful skin But her feminine beauty Is harbored within Thank you for lunch It was wonderful!

Liz, no doubt LeeJ will be extremely pleased once she has read this. You have penned this lady perfectly, for she is most certainly a lady. |

If I were writing her, I'd want to say just this, and in just this way ~~ even though she'd think I was making passes. It's the truth though, and I'm glad you said it. |

I've never heard her laugh... ~*~ And she laughs with a laughter As bright as the sun And her spirit swirls ’round In a friendship she’s won ~*~ But I imagine it is as pretty a sound as you've described! So nice, Elizabeth. Thank you! |

Oh! YOu live close enough to have lunch. I'm filled with envy.Lee J and I have wanted to meet for a long time. But I'm always broke. We gabe on the phone all the time and we both have a wonderful time and a lot of the times it is filled with laughter. When she sees this she is going to smile and cry at the same time. Hugs to you both. Love BonBon  |

I am flabbergasted....is that a word? Dearest Liz, thank you so very much, for your beautiful heart...it was a pleasure to finally meet you the other day. Thank you for your oh so patient and understanding heart, as we had to postpone our meeting several times. Liz, thank you so much for this beautiful poem...would you mind if I copy and keep it? Love to you, and yours always, and I hope you had a wonderful weekend. |
