Moments of memory, treasure be mine
The troves, the garlands, the gems of time
A need, a calling within hearts command
A reaching, a touching, a knowing hand
Each hour, each day, each year now past
A journey, a questing, a destiny cast
To the NOW, a self, a being, a soul
Visions, passions, and many a goal
The sound, the paint, the pen, the word
Grace be known, be seen, be heard
With faith anew this hand, this heart
From destiny's path shall not depart.

What a superb picture - and the verse an excellent compliment to it!
Oh so beautiful....how many of us have been waylaid during our journey....I know I have especially when younger....now that I am older and know myself better I am able to enjoy the journey so much better.
Beautiful picture complimenting an even more beautiful poem.......:-) Hugs
The journey sometimes is quite an adventure. Learning and understanding what has passed and looking foward to what lies ahead. Beautiful painting, Rose Marie.
Rose Marie, I keep gazing at your watercolor, it's just so beautful!
The colors are lovely, all of my favorite ones!
You are such a gifted artist!
The poem is wonderful.
I especially love your last lines ...
*With faith anew this hand this heart
From destiny's path shall not depart.
