A Tear I feel a tear drawing near Know that it will soon appear. Spill my lid from deep my Id Wet my face without my bid. A bit has slid my nose and Fell upon a dried up rose Between the pages of a book I found within a corners nook. The thing was placed some time ago The bashful of a living beau A thought in symbol of a rose Forever in this books foreclose. I wonder this fragile flower Its secret and magic power To lay between this covers core Eternally forevermore It is a thing that lovers do Perhaps it has happend to you.

Seymour this is utterly wonderful, full of heart I'm keeping this poetic rose Into my library there it goes A dream wrapped in magic for me to keep Waiting to delight me when in poetry I sleep As always Mushy  To give light to them that sit in darkness..... to guide our feet into the way of peace St John ch2 v1 |

Yes, this is what lovers do. I once received a single red rose sent by a beau overseas, who I was supposed to be going back too. I kept it in its vase on my bookcase for over 10 years. The writing had completely faded from the card (no matter, I knew the inscription off by heart….”Heaven, is the whole of the heart”), the rose was dried out, but intact. I shed many a tear looking at that rose.It pained me when I finally had to throw it away when I sold my mothers house. Thanks for taking me back down memory lane Sy. If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please? |

*sigh* I guess I have known all the wrong kind of people.....I have never received one from a beau...*grin* of course one has to have a beau to get one. I love this poem with its tender and beautiful memory. **big hugs** Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams. |
