How Like A Rose How like a rose is womanhood, So rich with radiant hue! More lovely with each passing year; Forever bright and new. Her petals, ever opening, Absorb both sun and rain. So, woman's growth results from both Life's pleasure and life's pain. How like a rose is motherhood, So filled with gentle grace! Imbued with priceless beauty, That the years cannot erase. Her inner peace, she radiates To all who pass her way. So, like the rose, a mother grows More precious every day. -Troy J.

Oh, Troy~ I'm going to take this one very personally. It fits the many women that I've come to know and love. I like to think that it fits me too. You made me feel special. I thank you. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Thank you all for your wonderful comments! wayoutwalt - yes, they are! Thanks, friend!  David2 - Wow! Praise from Caesar! I really love reading your poetry as well, and always look forward to your next post. Thanks for your comments - your compliments mean a lot to me, my friend! bobbycat - thank you! My Mom has always been proud of me, even when I felt that there was nothing to be proud of. Denise - thanks a bunch! My Mom really is the best! Marge - IMHO, this poem certainly applies to you, as well! Thank you for your kind words! Teresa - thank you, my dear friend! I'm still chuckling over your comment about PMS - it made my morning! {{{HUGS}}} back! Nan - no, thank you for the lovely rose, my friend! The graphic is awesome - and it doesn't even need water! Again, thank you all for your kind words! Troy Beautiful, Thought-Provoking Poetry http://www.h-systems.net/p1.htm |
