The Roses

Missing image
                                                                   

                                            I made the plans and cleared the ground
                                            And dug holes til blisters popped.
                                            I’ve torn out roots and hauled off  rocks,
                                            Till exhaustion had me stopped.

                                            I planted each rose with loving care,
                                            In measured precise places.
                                            I re-routed pipes and put in more,
                                            So water covered all the spaces.

                                            I fought off aphids, bugs and worms,
                                            And pulled all the weeds that grew.
                                            But now I set with coffee cup----
                                            AND WATCH WHAT GOD CAN DO..

                                                                P.N.

    I love this...the aphids attack my roses every year, but every year they bloom despite the sabotage. .... I think my pipes got rerouted a bit last week too, but, "It is no secret what God can do...": my mom used to sing that old song to me when I was small. You make me remember her arms around me.
    Enjoy your coffee, and smell the roses. I am loving them, too. ~ Karen
