Blue Roses of Christmas

Blue dreams of memories

A blue moon hovers across an ocean of dreams 

where sweet memories in blue lights shine for thee... 

As snowflakes settle on evergreen trees 

a bluebird whispers I love the stars that twinkle... 

Once upon a Christmas past when wise men 

travelled from far away places to follow a 

Star of hope and joy and Noel peace... 

The Angels sang Hallelujah to a new born King 

and shepherds watched over the Manger... 

We pray for all the children who need the warmth 

of love and caring at this time of Blue Roses unearthed.

the blue rose is the perfect flower for Christmas isn't it!? wondrous pic to go with your poem Pat ... the moon always grabs my attention so your first line hooked me .. and any time the moon is blue or super or blood or any other of its more infrequent appearings ... i must read on ;) very interesting flow to this one...first three lines rhythm and rhyme and then off to more of a prose read ... read it over several times to get past the jolt :) and a very special closing for the children ... all your blue images enchant me ..

dear Gene... yes, a blue rose is perfect for Christmas... be still my heart. Thank you for being so gentile when there was a break in the rhymn and rhyme. This Christmas is truly blue thinking of the children being abused in the process of crossing the border. It is a somber time...
where prayers are needed more than ever.
truly, Pat

From a manger to a call to love.

Cherry dear... not a tear is shed, but our Saviour knows...

There was a time when most families had an extra child that was not theirs.

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Cherry... yes, when the economy allowed us to adopt an extra child or two... now the economy is outrageous, especially for Shelter just to keep safe from the elements. Even so, when I see the Immigrants with children.. sleeping on the streets and ground... my heart is breaking for them. Fondly, Pat

I was thinking further back in time, when adoption wasn't a money maker for the system.
But yes, the common man can't afford the fees.

Our country has a big heart and other countries do also. I know our guardian angels are present... I believe in Prayer for the Immigrants. Amen

This was truly heavenly to take on board and inhale all the beauty it gave me. Thank you, Patricia. This really gave me a boost and glorious feelings of peace and tranquillity.

dear Dawn... there is a time to share peace and love... when the world seems confused and the thunder rolls... we cling to the faith that love endures. Fondly, Pat
