A rose within a crystal glass, A rose to wither and to pass, Its beauty fades, its glory goes, I know no way to keep a rose. And yet there is a rose that blooms Forever more in quiet rooms. A rose within a fairer vase Than purchased in the market place. The rose is love, the vase the home, A rose that blossoms when we roam, And when returned one rose God made That need not wither, need not fade. And yet to keep that one rose fair The heart must also give it care, Must nurture it with things like this: The morning smile, the goodnight kiss. Aye, this is all this red rose needs: Words of affection, helpful deeds, Labors divided, burdens shared, And eyes that looked as if they care. The rose of love will bow its head In rooms where angry words are said That rose will brave the wintry sky But when hearts cool, that rose will die. If you the rose of love possess Keep it alive with tenderness And crystal – pure – with gentle hands The vase called home in which it stands. There is one rose, the rose of love, You need not know the fading of A rose that’s watered day by day You never need to throw away. ~Douglas Mallock “Who hears the rippling of rivers will not utterly despair of anything.” ~Henry David Thoreau2/13/2024  "Clam River Musings" (Image Copyright Wylddane Productions, LLC)  "Forgotten Memories" (Image Copyright Wylddane Productions, LLC) “A river seems like a magic thing. Magic, moving, living part of the earth itself.” ~Laura Gilpin2/11/2024  "River Wandering" (Image Copyright Wylddane Productions, LLC)  "Memories are like Rivers" (Image Copyright Wylddane Productions, LLC) This is one of my favorite quotes. Every time I come across it, it is like a fresh reminder of how precious this moment is...how precious this day is.
"When you arise in the morning, give thanks for the morning light, for your life and strength. Give thanks for your food, and the joy of living. If you see no reason for giving thanks, the fault lies with yourself." ~Tecumseh |
