MY WORLD ~ Sadness and Solace

When sadness threatens to overwhelm you, your friends
head for fields of daisies beyond the rainbow and others weep
over tagedies in their family, when your body refuses to
behave as you desire and strength and flexibility fail, look
into the heart of the rose, breathe in the wonder of its scent



her gentle shyly drooping head touches your heart and brings
you hope.



Coaxing a lily into flower totally out of season, can't help but
lift your spirits.



Go into the garden, pick off a few hundred spent rose heads
and see the rosebush glow with gratitude



echoing your lifting spirits with its perfect beauty.

My dear friend Kathie, friend, humanist, birder extrordinair,

poet and painter wrote this poem for me and Renee.

When Arija sings in the morning,

she calls the colours to the day

and the flowers blossom before her

and drive all her troubles away.

Her song is a song of forgivenness

and love to a hurting world,

with harmony filling the daylight

and a melody coaxing the twilight

and poetry flooding the moonlight,

Arija sings in the morning

with a song washing over the world.

Kathie, I thank you sincely and love you dearly. You read

my very soul.
