[hometext] => This is a very touching story of love that can be transmitted even from the grave. It shows the loving heart of a young man trying to find his identity.
[bodytext] => A young man searched, through tall grass and weeds. A stranger he'd never known Yet, heard of his very good deeds! Tenderly placing tea roses, gifts from God, upon his memorial stone. He stood all alone..... I wasn't there, he said a prayer. "I wish I could have known you Bob. I've seen your pictures, and many a story of you I've heard. Yet, I wouldn't know your voice, I've never heard a word! My heart is entwined with yours. Your character and ways of love. We had the same teacher, Our Loving Heavenly Creator above. I'd like to shake your hand, with a firm embrace. I'd like to visit with you, face to face! You see, my father refused, to learn real love. He was a very selfish man. He loved his money, more than we! Greed was his only friend, not me!" This young man has adopted the man beneath the earth. If he were alive, he'd be so pleased....for he was adopted, the day of his birth! This man in the grave, has been dead for 32 years. His "bearer of roses" is only 23 How can this be? My son arrives home. A short trip from Steamboat Springs Land. Beautiful bouquet of tea roses, he holds in his hand! He shows me a picture...... It's my first husband's grave, whom I lost to death. Tea roses are draped all around his head stone! A moment enjoyed together. Neither, no longer left all alone! Created by Cheri Cam LeBren A very touching moment.... created through tears!

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
