If I had to choose the kind of plant, I would be a Lily. Of a shadowed valley I would stand, proud of myself, maintaining my dignity against the petal-bending gust and forceful pelt of rain. And if I had to choose the kind of gaze to peer upon me, openly, see the errors that etch my body, marred, but worthy of your wise eyes regardless of my cowardice. If the choice was solely mine, I would stretch my roots to warmer times and welcome the sun, to heal, to grow, to live again. I bought my share of mistakes so I might see some interest. ~Dorene |

Thank you for the warm welcome, Sunshine. *s This is the only poem I've written in over a year. It feels good to have sat down and worked on one. |

Martie, thank you. I've always been partial to the Lily. Don't know why... just because, I guess. Thanks again. [This message has been edited by Chanson (02-24-2005 08:37 AM).] |

ah if given the chance to redo, to add forgiveness to the choices made instead of to the choices passed by......this is is powerful, the images and the heart behind it.......I know...I made the wrong choice first and have let my heart bloom much too late in life....sigh... thank you for the thoughts this inspired |

Some lessons are learned the hard way. In fact, most are. Thanks for your thoughts, jellybeans. They are appreciated. |

What a lovely way to look at forgiving and how it applies to the lily as well as the warmth of the sun. They really do go hand in hand. This breathes life beautifully, dear Chanson~ |
