30 ROSES



This poem was written to my Grandmother and I gave it to her along with this afghan which is made of 30 squares.

30 ROSES

A dozen roses,
Could not give thanks,
For the love that you have given.

Yet a single rose,
So pure and sweet,
Wilts shortly after it's given.

You may dry the rose,
To a delicate state,
And display it on the wall.

An untouchable memory,
That surly will crumble,
If ever it were to fall.

So this special gift,
I give to you,
Designed with love and care.

From granddaughter to grandmother,
Thirty roses,
You may display them anywhere!

May 1999

Beautiful afghan and the poem compliments it so well. She must be very special to receive such a wonderful gift.
