Graceful Elegance--By Christine Tate--United States

Graceful Elegance

God brushed her soft petals
with the stroke of His hand...
her delicate features are
the fairest in the land.

Some are deep scarlet,
others purest white...
whatever shade you prefer
she is a sheer delight!

Her graceful elegance
evokes dreams of romance...
you cannot pass her by
without a second glance.

God's flowers are breathtaking,
as lovely as can be,
but the most beautiful of all
is still a ROSE to me!

Christine Tate has been writing since 1994. She's the mother of  3 sons and has 8 grandchildren. She was widowed in 2007 and met her husband Artie, a widower with 6 children & 12 grandchildren, in a nursing facility where their mothers resided. They've been happily married 4 1/2 years. They describe their meeting as "God's divine appt." because of their faith, and the fact that they swore they'd never marry again.

    So lovely, Chris. Roses are my favorite, especially yellow roses. Smiling as I picture the scene you've painted here. :)

    Thank you, Beth Winchcombe, for the following--

    Graceful Elegance by Christine Tate is so beautiful. It is especially so because the author swore they'd never marry again. Now we all know that ' God works in mysterious ways'...and in this instance played cupid. May they enjoy many, many happy years together.

    God bless from Beth
