A sight to make the spirit sing!
And though it grows sharp thorns to poke us
Peggy kept it sharp in focus!

(You title just struck me as a "first line".)

5. Awww...thank you so much, my dear Atticus! How kind of you!

The rhyming is rather clever too!

Oooops. I did a little rhyme too.

But your rose is simply beautiful.

I am the rare person who likes snow but that photo really gets me in the spring spirit. Such a nice pink on it.
