Each day I came here packing my pain trying to ignore my fear; hoping when I walked away I wouldn't feel weak and afraid; but whole again that day. I would sit in the same place absorbed in the beauty and seeing God's grace; knowing He intended for me to be mended. I cut off the brittle ends, touched the velveteen rose, and waited while new growth begins. Wicked winter freezes wearing on roses hoping to be; So I cut and trim just above the root; so when the moon dims and morning sprinkles its dew. The garden and I become new.

Thank you Denise....it was intended to be a "quickie" poem but ended up to be much more than I thought. |

Julie: I don't have a single rose out in my garden at the moment but I do have one beautiful tulip that's the most fantastic colour of deep peach and tomorrow morning as I watch it open, I shall think of you..  HUSG sweetheart |
