The Living Roots I blossomed underneath the spell Of loving words, you spoke so well. Each day was sweeter than the last, But suddenly, that time was past And you grew distant, even strange. Then everything began to change. So, I know how the flowers feel When cooling weather starts to steal The warmth that they so badly need. The drops of dew that start to bead Upon their petals, looks like tears, But if they're crying, no one hears! Yet down below the withered mass, Protected by the matted grass, Their roots will live the winter through And flower in the springtime too! There is a lesson here I see, That also could apply to me. Someday there'll be a fresh, new start. That creates hope, within my heart! Betty Lou Hebert |

Betty Lou, This is wonderful. It's the fruit of the "Writer's Prayer" don't you think? I have seen miracles happen because someone took the time to say a few kind words or go out of the way for someone who needed a little special attention. Hats off to you. Love, Barb |
