Roses Around My Feet


Roses

Some hearts lay broken
by love's unanswered prayers
words fall like roses
through the air
Roses around my feet
are telling me something
"what are these thorns that make us bleed?
"

I wish I could say these were my words but they are borrowed from another song by Tish Hinojosa. So lovely to look at but they can cut you very deep.

Flowers are wonderful. I love having flowers in the garden and a fresh bunch of them in the house. I know that a lot of men are quite ignorant about giving flowers to their women but can you imagine that there are women to whom it means nothing!!

Borya...oh I still love flowers of any sort. I remember years ago, I had a boyfriend who always brought me flowers/roses. I really miss that and I'm not greedy...it doesn't have to be a whole dozen..even one says just as much and more so if it's from your own garden.
