Things Unexpected I wish I were a diamond but I’m more a lump of coal and you so like roses I have more a daisies soul but in my common garden I’ll bloom and bloom again with no thorns to pierce you deep running roots to remain the future brings things unexpected and coal can warm you in the coldest time and if you hold it oh so tight a diamond you just might find "...the rest is silence" (Hamlet) Shakespeare |

Well, Helen, you've wowed me yet again with your writing You always seem to capture so much in few words! I love this, and of course, it's going right into my library. Heck, can I borrow this as my motto?!  Seriously, this would make a great Hallmark card, it's a refreshingly honest and wonderful message~Melissa~ "Poetry is not an opinion expressed... |

"with no thorns to pierce you deep running roots to remain" I know what it's like to be left bleeding - this is a beautiful promise! I like this poem very much. |
