Turning to toil in my secret gardens climbing roses unfold that I've so carefully pruned. A scent of blush fills the air from a fresh sprinkling climbing over an arbor leaves a mist in the morning. Clinging vines on a trellis where tender buds bloom hinting at spring petal pushers that swoom. As they dapple and dance in the shadows of sunlight renewing the spring and the beauty I love. That slips in so slowly to lie in my arms a bouquet to behold long stemming from you. |

Lori, Silly me I had you pictured in these just below the knees small hem slit pair of pants working in the garden. Well, never mind. It was almost as romantic as your poem! If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. [This message has been edited by Larry C (02-01-2003 09:34 AM).] |

You guys are the best, thank you so much for stopping long enough to smell the roses. I anticipate the spring with open arms, as my garden is begging to bloom again. I just hope my petal pushers will still fit! |
