A single rose to lane
A single rose to slain
A single rose to hide my pain
A single rose to turn the tide
A single rose to make roads wide
A single rose as my guide.
A single rose to raise my soul
A single rose to widen the hole
A single rose to achieve a goal
A single rose to melt the heart
A single rose to force the start
A single rose to cult
A single rose to freeze my body
A single rose to mourn this memory
A single rose to short a life
A single rose to end the strife.
(Dheeraj Haran – poet extraordinaire )
Remembering those we’ve loved this Valentine’s Day
Gorgeous words and roses, Virginia, and I’m thinking of my Mom with each holiday I come upon….xoxo
I understand and appreciate your thoughts. Our daughter is always in our thoughts. She did so love Valentine’s Day – buying beautiful cards and sweet gifts.XXOO
Oh, Virginia, I’m not sure if I know your story, but I can’t imagine…our daughter is very sick right now, however, fine, if that makes sense. If I think about the future, I’ll lose it, so we live in the here and now…time will tell how things go and what happens next…sending prayers and hugs your way…xoxo
Thank you….we just lost our friend Barrie and those words were a comfort.
Love your far away friend
You are always close to me Donna. XXOO Virginia
Dearest Virginia, I could not even leave a response last evening when I read this beautiful, yet mournful poem. I was so taken by the words and personal reflection; i had to weep in the dark for a while. Even now the tears are once again finding their way down my cheeks. Funny though I am not so much filled with saddness and I am longing. This is one powerful set of words and your photos are so very perfect. In rememberance of all those we once had in our lives that, whose sparkle we still see out of the corner of our eyes and they hover near….
My dear Tin Man, those we love and who have left us, are always just over our shoulder – always a part of us.. And still we shed our tears. XXOo V.
What a fitting Valentine for your daughter! Those we love will always be in our hearts. The photos of roses are exceptional. May you celebrate Valentine’s Day in her memory.
