A Tear Was Wept














  
A tear was wept purity  since  the  start 
gentle  white   bell   shape  delicate  design 
spring  brings  restoration   to  anxious hearts
perpetual  light  your  spirit  does shine

in the shadow of the  earthly  valley
musical  notes   soar  ,  chimes  of the divine
singing  carefree  spirits  yearn   to   dally 
caught  momentarily ,  searching   for   signs 

guiding  new  pathways  sweet   heavenly   scent 
radiating   assurance  , blooms of  hope 
seeking  renewed  peace   and   feeling   content 
life  an  ever   changing  kaleidoscope

remembering   great   dream   grow   from   small  seeds
nurturing   love  , fulfilling  human   needs

  13. A wonderful tribute beautifully written.

    I miss these lilies. I took none when I moved. They would do well around my rock/water garden.

    1. Myrna whenever I see these flowers I think of my grandmother they would grow every spring on the side of her house. I was always drawn to them perhaps, it was the little bells. She once told me
      they had a protective spirit.

  16. This is an amazing and beautiful tribute to your grandmother. If we cultivate the seeds of our dreams, they will flourish and grow. If we "water" them with hope, we will reap the harvest.
