Romance

At Bible Study the other night, one of the women shared that her husband often writes her little notes and signs them "Your Knight." I thought that was really romantic. Of course, I didn't say anything to Isaac about it.

The next morning, I woke up to a dozen of my favorite roses (white with red tips) laid out on five caps with notes next to each. My husband had read my blog post "Caps for Sale" and this was his response! Each note addressed one of the caps I try to juggle.


Pretty romantic, huh? These are my favorite roses because of the poem "A White Rose" by John Boyle O'Reilly.
"The red rose whispers of passion,
And the white breathes of love.
O the red rose is a falcon
And the white rose is a dove.

But I send you a cream-white rosebud
With a flush on its petal tips;
For the love that is purest and sweetest
Has the kiss of desire on its lips."
