In the garden daffodils, As the wind in silence stills, Comes first hush of evening's skies, While high above, an angel cries. O' Gentle Rose, thy precious bloom, Two springtimes past, from mother's womb, Rent by storms of worldly pain, Ever shall with us remain, Amid the glory of the garden, As we seek of mercy's pardon, For our failures, in thy caring, Ever in our sorrow sharing. In the garden, daffodils, A Gentle Rose, in silence stills. |

O Mike, this is so sad...and haunting...but thank you for sharing... Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |

I love to read a poet's words when the expression is coupled with flowers, and this one was.....what a combination...daffodils and roses...I'm waiting for my seed catalog! "Always be a first rate version of your self instead of a second rate version of someone else." Marilyn Monroe |

This poem is most beautifully written, and so sad! I'm so sorry for the loss of your little Gentle Rose. Christmas is hard, remembering a little one gone from us. I am a bereaved mommy too. Please give little Rose's mommy a hug from me, and thank you for sharing! . The spiritual wind that holds survivors aloft, plants the seeds from which bloom new hope ... R.J.G. |

Each time I read this through...it grows more and more beautiful...your heart and soul flows with the ink of a poet with the power to touch readers with your words....an amazing gift that you share so beautifully. Excellent writing~ The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched ---- they must be felt with the heart~ *??* |

They live on in the heart, Mike, of caring people like you. There would be much more pain and suffering for the little ones in this world without you. Always remember that you do make a difference. Denise |
