I found this in a 1985 magazine called "Quilt World - Omni Book". I printed and post it on my wall. Would you believe the magazine was only "$1.75"
BROKEN DISHES
Grandmothers Flower Garden
Holds a special Wild Rose,
All Around The World
No other garden knows,
An Old Maids Puzzle surely
But twas Clays Choice, that I know.
Wedding Rings were shining
On that blessed Sharon Rose.
Now, the Log Cabin lies deserted
Broken Dishes on the floor.
The Wedding Ring that warmed it
Is gone forevermore.
A Storm At Sea, Ocean Waves
Covered her loved one o'er,
And the Wild Rose above er grave
Jobs Tears will mist once more.
