WOW, my Shobana, this is marvelous! I love the questioning, keeps the reader on their toes and engaged! Have a great day! I have been hanging out with my oldest son who just got in from the Bering Sea. He is having buddies over tonight for food and horseshoes! I so enjoy those times, they are so filled with silliness and outrageous laughter! Have a wonderful evening! It is so wonderful to be back on and reading you fantastic poetry! sam

You’ve written an original piece that takes a special approach to the topic. You paint with words. And for the first time the senses are used on the Virgin Mary and the Immaculate Conception. Yet you only use a whisper. In this way you achieve moods of joy and peacefulness love. BC-A, Bill’s RJJst

You wrote a beautiful poem here, it is wonderful to listen for the whispers and I have known the grotto of St. Michael's church in where I grew up.

An extract from Story of a Soul by Saint Therese of Lisieux
JESUS DEIGNED TO teach me this mystery. He set before me the book of nature; I understood how all the flowers He has created are beautiful, how the splendor of the rose and the whiteness of the Lily do not take away the perfume of the little violet or the delightful simplicity of the daisy. I understood that if all flowers wanted to be roses, nature would lose her springtime beauty, and the fields
would no longer be decked out with little wild flowers. And so it is in the world of souls, Jesus' garden. He willed to create great souls comparable to lilies and roses, but He has created smaller ones and these must be content to be daisies or violets destined to give joy to God's glances when He looks down at His feet. Perfection consists in doing His will, in being what He wills us to be. I dearly love her. I was received into the Catholic Church on he Feast Day, October 1st, 1984

Yes, I hear the whispers....
Your poem made me feel good....The figure in it seems to be Mary, but the roses remind me of Saint therese of Lisieux...who I am very fond of. A wonderful saint.....

thank God for those whispers, shobana...God doesn't always speak out of
the thunder, but sometimes within a whisper, His own or someone else's...
...too bad so many people miss those whispers because they're so busy raising their own racket...
