rose of purest white shine forth in the dark of night guiding the soul home rose of palest pink comfort the soul on its way to its final rest rose of gold yellow give the warmth of only Sun rising in the sky rose of darkest red carry the heart of the soul on our tears of love ------------------------------------------------------------------ To the world, you may only be one person. But to one person, you may be the world. |

Sven, Your grandfather led a long full life. We should all be so fortunate. The roses were indeed beautiful surrounding him today. I know that his soul is home safe and finally at rest. May he rest in peace. All tears shed on this day were full of love. I know they were a comfort to him. As you know, I even shed a few myself. He will be missed by many. This was a wonderful portrait of the roses and their beauty. I like the images here. Excellent writing.  LW Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats |

This is another one that has to go in the library. Roses will always be a favorite flower of mine, so that makes any poem about them also a favorite. Beautiful work. P.S. My sympathy is with you on the loss of your grandfather. Take care. |

Sven, I am the dark red rose, I guess, as I have many tears of love as well. I am sorry to see that it appears you have lost your Grandfather. I know how very sad I was when mine left, and 10 years later, it still hurts. These were beautiful wordds, and I'm sorry that they came from a sad heart. Sandra |
