Upon the Fireplace Mantle

Upon the fireplace mantle A metal high container Filled with white flowers Two birthday cards lean In the middle stands The large family painting A waterwheel house On a farmer's field Beside this painting Two photo's found Followed by a glass Candle light In front of that Stands a small angel Watching, keeping,guard On top of the mantle

Very beautiful, like walking into a painting that tells a story, leaving one to stand there and turn around to view the detail of the person telling the story and the detail of what led the storyteller there...I love this very much. Beautiful and magic. x

This is soft, and lovely, Darlene. I feel that I am looking at the center of the home, the special mantle.
