Robert Lindley Poet Sonnet

Treasures Given That Will Forever Last

Treasures Given That Will Forever Last

The red rose, colors that such pure joy brought
gleaming wet from last night's slow falling dew
are as divine gifts in darken world caught
begging Nature's gentle hands to renew,

Your life, that gave so many a new start
now has withdrawn into a waiting room
many born that deep wisdom you did impart
to ward off hard blows of world's gloom and doom,

Seeing beauty, its sheen causing a glow
of memories some bitter, most so sweet
tho' heaven may be waiting its next show
to extend its hands to your dear soul greet!

The red rose, your life, seeing beauty cast.
Treasures given that will forever last.

Besma Riabi Dziri December 20, 2019 at 2:36 PM A most precious soul is the mother.. a book of many a wisdom.. a strength shown and a weakness hidden.. a devoted giver.. a grand heart ever ready to sacrifice.. a beauty! a treasure! a bearer of life and love.. Even though my words could define the mother.. but never could I truly capture what is a mother! Your rendition of your feel and veneration to your mother is beyond plain words and praise..A graceful dedication! A sweet scent of your unique rose! "Treasures given that will forever last".
