Blue Roses of Christmas

Blue dreams of memories

A blue moon hovers across an ocean of dreams 

where sweet memories in blue lights shine for thee... 

As snowflakes settle on evergreen trees 

a bluebird whispers I love the stars that twinkle... 

Once upon a Christmas past when wise men 

travelled from far away places to follow a 

Star of hope and joy and Noel peace... 

The Angels sang Hallelujah to a new born King 

and shepherds watched over the Manger... 

We pray for all the children who need the warmth 

of love and caring at this time of Blue Roses unearthed.

Your poem is a beautiful and evocative reflection on the power of love and the importance of cherishing the memories that we hold dear. The way that you use vivid imagery and poetic language to evoke the spirit of the holiday season is both powerful and moving, and I think your poem captures the essence of what it means to be a thoughtful and compassionate person in a way that is both insightful and inspiring. Your use of metaphor and symbolism is particularly effective, and I think it speaks to the resilience and beauty that can be found even in the most challenging of circumstances. Overall, I think your poem is a beautiful tribute to the power of love and the importance of holding onto hope even in the darkest of times.

Well done, Pat. I'm a little late getting to this, but I celebrate Christmas until after Orthodox Christmas in January. They need shining lights and festive decorations too. As always, Christmas is for kids and those of us who are big kids and as a reminder of the special gift we all should celebrate.

A good write.

Hi, Pat. We celebrate Christmas on Dec. 25th, but leave everything in place until after 'little Christmas' to honour both.

So lovely. Soft and sweet, and not at all garish, as I wish most poems, and Christmases, might be

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Lyn... so lovely to read your heart prints for Blue Roses for Christmas... now in January, we have snow covered branches with moonlight glistening and children dreaming of warmth and love and true affection under a blue moon of reflection. truly, Pat

What a glorious, sacred beauty fills your words. All the deep, rich colors carry us back across those ancient paths to the light of the world... Magnificent...

[Patricia Wedel]

dear 🦉 Owl... Blue roses unearthed... remembering his birth... whenever a child is born... there is a always a chance of discovery... perhaps a cure... or so much love that the world will be healed. Thank you for leaving your heart print on the path of life. truly, Pat

dear Bill... how charming for you to stop by... the blue lights have always been my favorite at Christmas... it seems to include the loneliness and the loveliness of the season. May your New Year be blessed with treasures of the ♥️ heart. truly, Pat

[Tom]

Such a sincere poetic prayer, penned with love!

[Patricia Wedel]

How very kind to stop by, Tom... Yes, this Christmas is abut more blue than others, somehow. It seems our leaders On both sides are not working together to keep what our country has fought for over many years. We need to protect our Borders to continue to be a shining light where people can come to our country in a legal entry program. This is our Prayer always. Thank you. truly, Pat

A topical poem for Christmas, and I like the imagery conveyed in the lines,such as a 'blue moon hovers across an ocean of dreams'. I thought the use of 'blue roses' is a very good metaphor for those children who need warmth and care over Christmas. This poem captures the season of Christmas quite accurately.

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Hassan... when it comes to children, they are the Hope of the 🗺 they need all the care the world can give them, but we need to share the responsibility. Thank you for your kind review. truly, Pat

[Patricia Wedel]

Children are the Hope of the world... Amen

[Sami Khalil]

Although Christmas has passed but the magic has not. Your lines celebrate the Messiah and the symbolic honor. A lovely poem and a peaceful message. I hope the New Year will be wondrous.

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Sami... so special that you would review Blue Roses of Christmas... as we celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior... Blue roses are unearthed as we try to be the guardians of many children with their parents seeking lodging at this time of year. Blessings to you always, Pat

[Patricia Wedel]

Thank you Sami... I appreciate learning the reason for your tender sensitive faith which is like a star that shines brilliantly. truly, Pat
