Of Birth and Death The miricle of birth is as the mystery of death From the first light that awakes the eye until the final breath The birth is no beginning, nor is death a certain end They both flow in the moving steam, each one a glorious bend But the water keeps on flowing to the grand and sparkling sea And never stops to answer questions posed by you and me We live with just a promise that there is an end to strife And words that fall upon our ears of everlasting life Why is it then we question what the mind can’t undertand For the answers lie not in the mind, nor in the heart or hand It is from the well of true belief that flows the spring of worth For faith in God and in His Word’s the answer here on earth Does robin ever question why he migrates every year Does a tulip ever wonder why it’s buried year to year Both are part of the whole process, and both will live and die But continue giving life and never stop to question why Elizabeth Santos |

Liz; This is so beautifully true, just a flowing, with no questions asked, and you've put this gentle reminder into a poem of loveliness. Thank you, Love, Ellie Summers haunting melody that awakens the butterflies, calling them to join the dance in their silent song of praise to God. eL |

Elizabeth~ What an amazing piece of poetry! It is so beautiful and full of life...and soo truthful! "Why is it then we question what the mind can’t undertand For the answers lie not in the mind, nor in the heart or hand It is from the well of true belief that flows the spring of worth For faith in God and in His Word’s the answer here on earth" How perfect! I love it. God Bless  Those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; run and not grow weary, walk and not be faint. Isaiah 40:3 |

Elizabeth~ 'We live with just a promise that there is an end to strife And words that fall upon our ears of everlasting life' This is a beautiful affirmation of faith. A comfort from within - Love to you. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Liz you always leave me in awe! And of course with something to think about. I have no words, all I can do is sit in thought at what I've read <*\\\>< Be an organ donor...give your heart to Jesus! |
