 TEARS ON A ROSE I WALKED IN THE GARDEN ONE MORNING AFTER A BRIEF CLEANSING RAIN I WONDERED IF MY WORLD WOULD EVER AGAIN BE SANE I SEARCHED THE MANY BLOSSOMS AND MY ACHING HEART FROZE GOD MUST HAVE BEEN LISTENING BECAUSE I SAW HIS TEARS WERE ON A ROSE I FELT SO BAD TO HAVE MADE HIM CRY I WIPED A TEAR FROM MY OWN SAD EYE THE ROSE'S HEAD WAS BOWED IN PRAYER AS THOUGH NATURE SENSED MY DEEP DISPAIR I TRIED TO COMFORT GOD I SAID MY TROUBLES WERE SMALL HE LOOKED AT ME KINDLY, "NO MY CHILD, NOT AT ALL! YOUR HEART IS VERY PRECIOUS YOUR TROUBLES BELONG TO ME LET ME LIFT THEM FROM YOUR SHOULDERS AND ALLOW YOUR EYES TO SEE THAT YOU ARE ONE OF MY FLOWERS IN THE GARDEN THAT I TEND I WILL SEE YOU HAPPY SOON AND HELP YOUR HEART TO MEND MY TEARS WERE SENT TO WASH AWAY THE GRIEF THAT HAUNTS YOUR SOUL BLESSINGS DEAREST CHILD OF LIGHT I CAME TO MAKE YOU WHOLE!" I STROKED THE TEARS FROM THE ROSE'S PETALS LIFTING IT'S LOVELY HEAD AND AS I DID I FELT AS IF MY SOUL HAD JUST BEEN FED. BURDENS FLOATED FROM ME JOY REPLACED DISPAIR THE TEARS ON THE ROSE WERE GONE SO I SAID A SILENT PRAYER "THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP MY LORD FOR TAKING ALL MY FEARS AND STOPPING BY HERE LONG ENOUGH TO WASH ME IN YOUR TEARS..."

BEAUTIFUL POEM CONNIE, HANK WILLIAMS SR. HAD A SONG WITH A SIMILAR TITLE. I THINK IT WAS CALLED "A TEARDROP ON A ROSE". ENJOYED! Although the world is full of suffering , it is also full of the over coming of it. Helen Keller |

Connie, your spirit and your poem are both as beautiful as a rose. Thank you for your uplifting poem and picture. I usually think that I am aware of my blessings, but you have reminded me that I don't appreciate my sight as much as I should, or could, or want to appreciate it. Thank you. You said you want honesty and constructive help, so I am sure you would like me to mention that dispair should be spelt D - I - S - P - A - I - R. - Owl |

MANY THANKS TO ALL OF YOU. I AM SAVING MY ENERGY TO COMMENT ON YOUR POEMS RATHER THAN TRY TO RESPOND HERE TO EACH OF YOU. I WAS NOT EXPECTING SO MANY KIND FOLKS TO DROP BY MY SIMPLE OFFERINGS. I WILL RETURN THE FAVOR AS ENERGY ALLOWS (I HAVE TO REST OFFEN DUE TO ILLNESS). JUST KNOW THAT I AM IN AWE AT HOW TALENTED THIS GROUP IS! THIS IS FOR ALL OF YOU: ON THE ROAD AGAIN...JUST CAN'T WAIT TO BE ON THE ROAD AGAIN! i found a patch of green under a leafless tree i sat and watched the sun gleam until it set for me i watched a hundred faces pass my peaceful spot and thought of all the places i wish i had forgot they played like a summer rerun those moments; captured climbs didn't think that it would be fun to relive those scary times so many sad locations held rememberances of pain so many bad vacations i'll never take again i guess i never traveled well i never liked to go movement always felt like hell i hated it, you know i much prefered to view it the world, inside my head rather than to do it to go where i was lead so here, i get to see you all visiting through your gates POSTING in this great big mall filled with POET mates many different cities and countries fill my skies cause my idea of heaven is communing with you guys... AND IT IS ALL SO PERFECTLY PAINLESS! THANK YOU LL&L McH I AM BLIND/I POST IN CAPS. FORGIVE IF THEY ARE UNCOMFORTABLE. A VOICE READER HELPS ME READ POSTS.
