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.

So many children suffering at this time of year Pat and it is most fitting that they should be remembered particularly at Christmas. Your blue roses, blue moon and bluebird touch this reader with sadness. I enjoyed the nativity you gave me, reminding me of the true meaning of Christmas. I send you all good wishes.

dear Chris... we are touched by the true meaning of Christmas with the Spirit of giving. Prayers can be very powerful when our heart is full of love and caring. The blue lights of Christmas have always touched my heart in a melancholy way.
Blue roses were unearthed with our Savior’s birth. May your hearth be blessed with frankincense and myhrr. truly, Pat

[Chris Shaw]

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Fran... I have always loved the blue lights of Christmas , and always reminds me of our loved ones who are now in Spirit,
However, it is a time to write poems that soothe and express our feelings. Wishing you and yours a beautiful season of love and devotion. truly, Pat

[Fran Marie]

Thank you dear friend and Merry Christmas

[Dara]

Yes, it may be a blue Christmas for many of those less fortunate and we remember especially the children who are in dire need of even the basics of life. A very moving write that reminds us that the true meaning of Christmas centers around the birth of a baby whose spirit of unconditional love and forgiveness remains with us even today. Love the spirituality behind each and every word, Pat.

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Dara.... lovely to read your comments... this year we have a reason
to pray for all the innocent children and families who have travelled from afar to seek asylum ... the blue roses seem to represent the feelings we have for our own country and the immigrants who need our prayers. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Fondly, Pat

A nice religous poem. I don't really know the story of Jesus actually.

[Patricia Wedel]

dear JungLee.... thank you for reading about Blue Roses for Christmas... sometimes we feel “blue” because we miss a loved one. The story of Jesus is very sweet as a baby in a Manger ... and then growing up as a young boy who entered the Temple at age 12... more later... truly, Pat

[Patricia Wedel]

dear JungLee... when Jesus lived on earth, he had disciples who loved Jesus teachings... to be meek in Spirit and help others who were facing misfortune. Now perhaps you know a little more about Jesus who is the son of God... “The Father and the Son and the Holy Ghost” whose Spirit lives in each of our 💕 hearts Amen.
truly, Pat

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Emma... “children who need love and caring at this time of blue roses unearthed” is my favorite line. I wanted to write about blue lights and blue roses... the beauty of Christmas, but also the “feeling” of being blue because of the children and others that suffer in the immigration process. Life is bittersweet.
Thank you Emma for taking time to understand
and give a gracious review. Wishing you and yours a blessed Christmas filled with your favorite things and memories ... knowing you are loved by so many. truly, Pat

[emmajoy]

Such a beautiful poem.. or perhaps - prose poem Youve created a series of lovely miniatures about the Blue, The natural colour of vast sky, ifall emotional sea. The emotions of light and dark of mood, etc. You alway s have that little extra to wrap around meanings, dear Pat The Embrace of the Spirit adds that extra more than Something.. ..

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Emma... your review is so tender and gracious... you leave me breathless... May your Christmas be wrapped in love and devotion. Fondly, Pat

[emmajoy]

Wishing you and your darlings a wonderful 2019, Pat, wrapped in smiles, giggles and not a knot in sight!

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Emma ... “not a knot in sight” how precious... the New Year will be here while we slumber... dreaming of fireworks at Midnight. Making a legendary toast across the Pond to you and yours... May resolutions be made as a we make our Beds in the morning light... to fight for the good in human kind in a love for country and our 🌍... the Ocean waves bid you Adieu as you chirp and coo like a birdling in the morning dew. With love and admiration... yours truly, Pat

[barleygirl]

I love blue moons & blue roses! I love using blue at Christmas instead of traditional red & green. I chafe watching Food Network's judges ding bakers for using blue which is "NOT FESTIVE" (they say!) You've woven blue into the meaning of Christmas in such a way, it felt like I was being seduced with a loving lilting invitation to joy. I especially relate to your final sentiments about the children . . . so many suffering around the world it breaks my heart (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Margie... you are like blue lights lining roof tops with the blessed blue of the sky where Angels fly... your review is enchanting as always... some countries may have blue bells at Christmas. Fondly, Pat

[Einstein Noodle]

the blue rose is the perfect flower for Christmas isn't it!? wondrous pic to go with your poem Pat ... the moon always grabs my attention so your first line hooked me .. and any time the moon is blue or super or blood or any other of its more infrequent appearings ... i must read on ;) very interesting flow to this one...first three lines rhythm and rhyme and then off to more of a prose read ... read it over several times to get past the jolt :) and a very special closing for the children ... all your blue images enchant me ..

dear Gene... yes, a blue rose is perfect for Christmas... be still my heart. Thank you for being so gentile when there was a break in the rhymn and rhyme. This Christmas is truly blue thinking of the children being abused in the process of crossing the border. It is a somber time...
where prayers are needed more than ever.
truly, Pat

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Gene... thank you for being so Genteel... fondly, Pat

[Einstein Noodle]

[andrew mitchell]

A lovely poem Pat, soft as! Blue roses are special too!

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Andrew... so thrilled you appreciate the sentiment of blue roses.. I love to hear Elvis 🕺 sing Blue Christmas... Wishing you an Eagle’s 🦅 view of the softness of a blue rose on Christmas and always. truly, Pat

[andrew mitchell]

Dear Pat, thank you, I’m just a fledging poet trying to leave a mark for everyone who stops by.

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Andrew... isn’t it wonderful to spend our golden years as Artists of poetry... painting pictures with colors of words.
We are blessed. truly, Pat
