Lesson from the Rose We can take Life's lessons From the roses. Upon the rose bush We find tiny new buds, Delicate young blossoms And some older roses That bloomed a long time. God has given All of them Finely patterned leaves On stems, full of thorns. Life is like the rose bush, With tiny new babies born, Delicate young people And some older adults Living life a long time. God has given All of them Finely patterned lives Sometimes... Full of thorns, Other times Full of roses. "Blessed is that man that maketh the Lord his trust."(Psalm 40:4) |

About the Poet
Born on October 24, 1939, I was one of seven children. I am now a mother of seven grown children, grandmother of 18, widow, and writer for the past 50 years mostly poetry. Day care provider of many years, now retired. Three poetry books published, but no longer in print, several little poem books self published. Published in
local newspapers, several magazines and daily devotionals. My faith, family and writing poetry has brought me thus far.
