I used the following HERO ARTS Stamps: Birdcage, Friend Definition and Messages. I filled my birdcage with butterflies (patterned paper) and added a white pearl, ribbon and a home made flower.
I wanted to share a poem that belonged to my grandmother. It's from a very old, worn, piece of newspaper that I keep tucked away in a special place. I'm kind of fond of this.
Some people go through this wonderful world
And never look up at the sky.
It's nothing to them that the lark sings there
While the great white clouds sail by.
It's nothing to them that millions of stars
Weave a silver web at night.
They do not know of the hush that falls
When the dawn gives birth to light.
Oh, pity the people with all your heart,
Who never look up at the sky.
So many beautiful sights they miss
As the pageant of God goes by.

ReplyDeletePretty card, Susanne! Love the soft background and wonderful birdcage but I really love that poem!
ReplyDeleteI try hard each day to find at least one, small thing to enjoy. Today at work, I was opening up some boxes of plants and when I got to the Freesia, the smell was amazing! I grabbed one and walked around the store, sharing it with anyone who wanted to smell the beautiful fragrance. I think some people thought I was a bit crazy, but most appreciated it, I think! Hugs to you, my friend! :)
Both are wunderful - your card and the poem!!!
