Regarding the poet:
Elizabeth was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 1998 and her husbands love and support never faltered. Now the tables have seemingly turned, her husband was diagnosed with lung cancer earlier this year. Their love has stayed and endured and quite possibly made them stronger in spite of all the hardships. Tony passed away November 29, 2000.
I Will Take Care of You~*
by Elizabeth Santos
We met upon the brink of youth
In a place so far away
The pain that then encased my heart
Still lives a bit today
He said don't ever worry
For whatever may ensue
Remember that from this day forth
I will take care of you
We walked together down life's road
For thirty years as one
And often spoke about the battles
We had lost and won
Then one more challenge faced us
As disease came into view
He said don't worry, I'll be here
To take good care of you
This illness daily takes a bit
Of strength along the way
But I was so content to know
He'd be with me each day
Now fate has turned another page
And changed our destiny
I said you promised you'd be here
To take good care of me
He said I always keep a promise
This you know as true
My spirit will be with you here
And I'll take care of you
