Gathering Roses ~*Marge Tindal*~ Velveteen petals lightly strewn along arbored pathways of the heart Gathering now the fragrant memories the roses do impart Evermore this wafting scent where once the petals grew Pressed now between the pages of never forgotten scent of you Dried remains of rose once bloomed Clinging to the memories of one gone too soon Gathering roses in my heart A bouquet of Mother's grace softly breathes across the ages now in memory's crystal vase *In tender memory of my mother Beverly Drury Cowart Adams 3/31/1925 - 10/04/1995 ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] [This message has been edited by Marge Tindal (edited 10-02-2000).] |

It seems to be Mother's day here at Passions today, I just read another dedication to a mother, how tenderly written this is as well. The hearts here are beautiful. |

Any poem about a rose automatically has my seal of approval, as this one did. But yours could have stood on its own, Marge. Beautiful words. Elizabeth Something sweet, something sort of grandish, sweeps my soul when thou art near... [email protected] |

A rose for you and one for your mother as well. Your love for her shines in this one and I know that she is looking down from heaven right now cherishing you so, just as we all do here. She has every reason in the world to be proud of you and with all that you do with so many less fortuante than us you offer another praise of love to her and honor as well. Luv ya my sweet Cherokee friend!!!!!  |

Marge, To me the rose is the most loving and beautiful of all flowers and I feel God gave us the rose as an earthly exsample of what heaven shall be like, and you have shown your mother as well as the whole world the greatest love a daughter can give her mother, I am sure that she carries a gleam in her eyes and a tear on her cheek for you right now, this is beyond beautiful friend it is graced with love by a trully loving soul and I am so glad I know you friend.

Marge... I cannot add anymore to what's already been said, except that it is a very beautiful tribute to your Mother......  Today is a gift.... That is why they call it 'the Present'! |

Marge, I guess I'm not very good at trying to cheer, you've seen our hearts and you know your a dear. You've helped me out of so many a scrap around here. From my heart I say Thank you. To everything there is a season_and for you I believe it's time to live and write again. Missing you, Dale |

Marge~ You have brought tears to my eyes my friend. They are tears of sweet remembrance for my mother who died eight years ago. The loss is immense especially lately. My heart goes out to you. I know how hard it is to lose someone you were so close to and loved so much. She would be proud to read this one I think. *HUGS* to you. Love ya. 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 |

Dearest Marge, What beautiful sentiments you have shared here. I know that I can't say anything to take your pain away...but please allow me to offer these few words of comfort and encouragement: "Serve God, love me (and all others blessed enough to have a place in your heart) and mend" WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE I love you...may my love float to you on the breeze that rustles the leaf of the tree and warm your heart. Love and hugs Your Lil' Lizzie |
