Notes About The Poem

Dont Push Red Roses Aside

Don’t push red roses aside
nor the violets-blue guide.

It’s childhood honey sweet.
It’s a record player on repeat.

It’s a treasure, and when found
a mother feels thus crowned.

The message on printed cards -
cute drawings with regards.

It is the simplest compliment -
in latter years, a sacred document.

It’s the breeziest way a child conveys
their love on special holidays.

at    the  roses   blum    make
me    smile.

Children express their love through small hand made cards and designs on special occasions. I remember having receieved a card once with a clumsily drawn picture with the words ... "Mom I lav you" from my four year old son.

That's adorable, Kim. I'm writing paragraphs with mistakes purposefully made as practice for children to catch mistakes.
