I OFTEN AWAKE EARLY IN THE MORNING (I suffer from Insomnia) I PLANTED A RED ROSE BUSH IN MY GARDEN AND NOTICED EARLY IN THE MORNING (especially after one of my sleepless nights) THE ROSE PETALS FRESH WITH THE MORNING WOULD APPEAR TO BE WEEPING...this all came about after a tragic event in my life, too many to mention. Weeping roses, hauntingly beautiful for sure. Mixed Media Photo Art By (Vickie Thayer).

~~~~~~~~~~~~ I stroll through, my garden, early, when morning dew, still clings, to my roses, with my rested mind, and full heart, I see their beauty, more clearly, to give thanks, to almighty God, It's a simple duty, without you, by my side, strolling alone, in the moonlight, it seems, my morning roses, doth cry. ~~~~~~~~~~~~

Thanks Tom...We all lose someone eventually in life, be it through death, estrangement, misunderstandings, mental illness...etc. It is painful surrounding all scopes of loss. Thanks for commenting. Vickie
