- Just Be Grateful -

Praying for the day I meet heaven You being there sharing this moment In paradise here I come with open arms Listening to the song of a magical lullaby I will bathe in your teardrops love That special place drowns in a sea of roses Kissing gently the eyes that they fall from Our time must flow in ceaseless praise Salted everyone in your deep beauty shines amazing grace A piece of your heart's dreams fantasies and love sails away in a treasure pearl Spices of the soul I surrender to your drops Falling from a great height like summer rain All of the things that make us who we are Softly as they run a river gently down the face Unrhymed tercet Written by L.

Hello Dear Anne-Lise and Liam!! This one my friends is a quite beautiful and heartfelt write for sure. Each individual Tercet stanza ends with a memorable verse that I think ties the whole poem together superbly. Excellent Write!! TR + FAV!! Cheers, Gary (P.S. Anne-Lise, I just posted "What the Heavenly Angels Above Speak of" which you and Liam might be interested in from a divine perspective. Again, great work here with your co-written effort!! GB)
