Oh Rex, this is so incredibly sweet and tender. Such beautiful remembrances held within a garden ... what a lovely way to gift such wonderful memories to another, making her heart a part of the current day celebrations. Beautifully composed!  Best wishes, /Kit PS ... love the new picture! I still think I could have picked you out of the crowd at Delaware if we'd bumped into each other!  |

I like the way you picked out each memory and matched it with each bloom Sometimes you have to let go and move on, But never let go of the memories. |

Stepping through the garden of our fondest memories my fingers resting lightly at your waist Our thoughts together mingle at each bloom we stop to linger for not one single flower could be replaced Rex this is exquisitely tender! I love the imagery, the comparasion, and of course the beautiful graphic. It just brought it together in one awesome package. <*\\\>< I know not what the future holds, but I know Who holds the future. |

With all the flowers there today quite a fragrance they'll display this rose shall bless the Bride and Groom forever From our garden from our mom the sweetest bloom to catch the sun We remember as your roses bloom today Rex this is quite exquisite indeed and a precious, tender and loving piece. Memories of old and new as a life together as man and wife is begun. Beautiful Rex well done Tracie~ Love is the life of the soul... It is the harmony of the universe |

Rex, This was wonderful!! What a nice remembrance of your grandmother. Like a yearly reminder of her love. I really like this one. Lone Wolf 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 |
