Lamentation

Oh, come now sweet rain And mingle with my last tear For I am tired The rose has dropped its petals There is nothing left but thorns 9/30/16

I'm not surprised to see this is a winner Barbara. It has metaphoric magic! I haven't seen you around much and I hope everything is fine? This little beauty is going into my Faves! Blessings, Connie 7 ; )
