Three Sunflowers


Three sunflowers gifted to me
'Tis the beauty of bloom I do see
Centers of seed and abundance true
God's glory in wondrous full view
Humble and proud they grow and stand
These the gifts of the Creator's hand.

Rose Marie Raccioppi


Three Sunflowers in a Vase, Oil on Canvas, Arles: August, 1888, Vincent Van Gogh, 1853-1890.

Hi RoseMarie-

I hope you get a moment to visit my blog. I haven't been commenting too much if at all on anyone's blog as of late. My last 2 posts explain why. But when I saw the three sunflowers I was drawn to visit here and tell you that I give my sister three sunflowers every Mother's day in honor of her three sons - her oldest son, Clayton died 7 years ago and sunflowers are his favorite flower -

love Gail
peace....

Gail, You have been missed. Spirit is ever present and our hearts be known to one another. I will now visit. I too, in the midst of an interlude.

Blessings to you and yours.

Lovingly,

Rose Marie
