Kristen's Flowers, age 13
Hope is a magic word,
curled up in the bud of every flower,
kissed on the roseblushed clouds of dawn,
sprayed sterling across the stars of the deep night sky..
may we each imbibe,
the grace of hope..
~ in memory of Inga ~
Sept 1967 - Jan 2011

ReplyDeleteAh simply beautiful.
ReplyDeletejust lovely-- both the flowers and the words. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeletethis is a beautiful painting lenora! your daughter is so very talented!
DeleteA note to clarify - though both my daughter and my son are wonderful artists, this one is not theirs, rather a good friend of theirs, and the daughter of my dear friend Inga in who's memory I wrote this post. Inga's daughter painted this for a school fundraiser and I had the winning bid - I thought as she was the artist is was most suitable for the post, Hope, inspired by and in memory of her mom who guides us from the other side.
DeleteI like the delicate touch with the watercolors which reflects your endearing words. I am sure you both miss her and together made a lovely tribute.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the delicate colors of your watercolors. It is so beautiful and indeed fits well with the poem. A true artist can do that.
ReplyDeletebeautiful painting, esp. for a 13 year old. I pray she's doing all right with the loss of her mum - even as it affected all those close to her. Beautiful tribute.
ReplyDeletethank you for such an outpouring of love, devotion and beauty. may we all know the colour of hope, the comfort of friends, the song of renewal.
ReplyDeleteLovely honor to your friend.
ReplyDeleteComforting, renewing memorial of words and drawing.....smiles: sharon
