“The gentle rose offers a powerful joy known only to the heart.”
― Andrew Pacholy

A SINGLE ROSE
I picked a single rose
From my flower bed today.
This has much more meaning
Than a hundred rose bouquet.
Roses from a florist
Or a grocery store display
Could never match the love
That a homegrown rose can say.
~Toni Armenta Andrukaitis
A lot of sitting around on a Saturday calls for a little poetry. Sometimes, I just see something special and decide it needs a poem. Not just any kind of poem, but a homegrown inspired right from the heart poem.
I keep promising myself that I’m going to put together a book of my poems inspired by my paintings or photographs. But, it turns out I am much better at procrastination than determination. Someday?
I took a nice evening walk before dusk, and as I sat on a bench, I contemplated my day and my single rose. Inspiring.
Happy Saturday, my friends.
