Three Roses My Lovely Children

Three Roses My Lovely Children Let me capture while I may All three roses in array And try and remember another time When you were young and we were strong The roles we felt we had to play To help you blossom and not sway From the crueler winds that you might stray or turn you in a different way But you prevailed against the cold To sprout anew as we grow old You received a gift from God above Now you are strong because of love Once you were small and played in mud Now each of you has grown a bud My Lovely Children Contest Sponsored by Laura Loo February 18, 2016
