Tender is the Heart Fragile is the rose’s bloom, it’s petal plush and fine Sweet the honeysuckle grows on dainty flowering vine Stately is the lily’s stem but fragile are its folds Tender is a heart that has these silent gifts to hold Red the wing of cardinal as it opens wide for me Blue and white the blue jay wing in rhododendron tree Yellow is the warbler in the holly by the shed Tender is the heart that swells in flush of cardinal red Purple is the dawning sky that wakes a tearful eye Bright the beaming fires that burn in height of midday sky Soft the twilight hour when blue-gray shadows slowly creep Tender is the heart that needs a starlit dream to sleep Fragile are the moments that can tear the page of trust Sweet and dainty are the words for which the flower lusts Stately the demeanor of the bloom that stands apart Strong the spirit’s inner core, but tender is the heart Elizabeth Santos |

Tender is the heart, indeed Liz.....beautiful phrasing in this one. "Starlit dream" especially stood out. Well done.  God bless America, my home sweet home. |

You know how much I love art and this painted the most beautiful picture I have seen in a long time, how do you do that? It flows with such ease and grace, and the picture you paint is so vivid. Exquisitive Liz. ~*~ Carpe' Diem ~*~ |
