Author's note: In loving memory of my dear father who passed away just this morning, August 5th, 2009. I will be gone for a awhile but will be back Wild Roses Shades of stronger love slant through my eyes, yet moist from the night Memories woven Cling to my self That day. . . We walked to the meadow and carried wild roses plucked from the wood My father, Wind-swept You placed to my heart Picking out thorns that I may not bleed I bled Now your breath shallow You smile---don’t worry As you reach for the thorn, and find it not there While shades of stronger love slant through your eyes I offer wild roses plucked of yesterday’s thorns And I smile--- © Copyright Janet Brennan, All rights reserved |
