The Heart of the Rose

A perfect rosebud
Prophetic promise
In its pause
To grace a day
Untouched
But by heaven's dew

A blossoming rose
Opening
Sunlit
Beautiful, Perfect,
Bathed by heaven's dew

A full-blown rose
Wide-open
Fragrant
Giving
A mother's heart
Blessed by heaven's dew

At this very moment, I should be on an evening out with my Book Group in Bath, but once again I’ve had to listen to my body and give up on my plans… But at least it means I get to watch Bake Off!! :)
