A Rose

a rose
between
life's thorns
you are

a fragrance
of morn
that tarries
on breezes

blossom
of friendship
that enfolds

the beauty
of blush
in smiles
as i wake

the petals
of soft touch
through words
you are

...my cherished
rose

Wow Sandra, I am mesmerized by your enormous talent - your poems I hope will be recorded for many, many generations in the future to read, they will surely be as enthralled by them, as are we all today on soup! Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

Wow thank you so much Jennifer your words touched me... not many in my circle know I write. My children do, my oldest made me so a speech in his class for poetry so he could get extra credit one year. His teacher was a coach that road my bus a lot so she knew.! My kids have no idea how many poems I even have to date or where I write... perhaps one day I will get them out there better ... hugs my friend :)

Ah, so lovely! A rose shooting up through the thorns... So much better than weeds breaking through cracks in sidewalks... ~ Not exactly 20/20 visioned in Chicago (LOL). Warmest wishes, Sandy. ~ Gershon
