In memory of my mother's mother

"Bella Bella Rose" scarf is a gift for my mother, in loving memory of hers, in hopes that it will cheer her up on difficult days, like today.

A Rose is a Rose is a Rose

I suppose

But so much can be wrapped up in sweet petal shades

How soft, like her hands used to feel

The aroma from my childhood days

Mixed in with tortillas and lemon

Her journey was impeded with thorns

Yet warm smiles were all that we saw

Her children, the sun, always adored

Opened her heart to every day

She sang to us, comforted us, told funny jokes

The sound of her voice still rings clear

As the rustling of leaves

in the still of night

Rose flower says Love

Her breath said Home

So a Rose is just a Rose...

except I think they were her favorite
