Freeze-framed, flash-frozen, shrivelled before your time;
Frost has won the battle, but the war is in your mind.
Stunted mite, measly runt, bud in haggard role;
Life has robbed your freshest bloom, but cannot eat your soul.

Meanwhile, Melody Muses... 
What a great pic! I think I see a web forming on that rose too.
I didn’t notice it until I was posting – kinda cool!
“The war is in your mind”–reminds me of Joyce Meyer’s great teaching–and is applicable currently. Excuse me while I go preach myself happy. God bless you–love, Caddo
🙂 Thanks Caddo. Need a slightly used pulpit or something??
Oh, I’ve got one, thanks–it’s a bit rickety, the ply-board’s worn and scratched, but it works. You know us survivors–we just make do, eh?
🙂 Indeed!
Melody, I know you do not accept awards, but I wanted to acknowledge the contributions you made to my growth in the blogosphere.
I am inviting you to the Ligo Circle of Appreciation. This is not an award per se, but a chance to highlight 2 bloggers per day for 22 days in October.
Thank you,
Ivon
Thanks Ivon – I will check it out!
I forgot to include the link at http://ivonprefontaine.wordpress.com/2012/10/19/circle-of-appreciation/
Thanks for your kind words, Ivon. I guess we are evolving together, aren’t we? Looks like a nice idea, just to link to and refer people to a few blogs. I’ll try it!
I think you are right. I struggle with getting back on awards and I feel guilty because I know I leave out worthy bloggers.
ME too!
I loved the photo and the message in this strong poem! Thanks Melody! I struggle to write one small simple poem a day, and here you zip off 3! God bless your faithfulness!
Thanks Debbie! I consider this ability a gift, an unexpected delight along a long and tedious, and very difficult journey. I am so blessed that there are others who enjoy this gift as much as I do – thanks for your support and encouragement of my work!
