Gardinias and Butterflies...

Today we were blessed with the most beautiful Monarch Butterfly who came and perched on the Hummingbird feeder!!  He came back several times.

Such beautiful, delicate creatures!  Yesterday, my hubby picked one of our beautiful Gardenias from the bush at the side of the house.  He does not care for the pungeant aroma but still admires their beauty.  I loved it!

I had to experiment with the soft focus in my photo program and liked the way it came out.

Little gifts from thee...

A lovely flower he brought to me

And I treasured it as you can see

I put it where I spend my time

And now I see it all the time.

He always thinks of things to brighten my day

Though he is not well,  but still I pray

Every day for a miracle to come

And heal my beloved, my dearest one.

We treasure each moment given to us

And he bears his burdens without a fuss

Though pain is often his companion now

His love never ceases to overflow

And cover me....
