This little bowl had held rose petals
that I had cherished seven years,
like tiny satin metals ...
Until one day, they were thrust in the trash ...
by a hand that meant to erase my soul with one lash ...
...
... It did not work...
Trudy Schmidt Harvey-Olsen, thank you
for the Mother's Day Roses ...
Now they comfort me,
when tears fall in poses.
