I'm going to take a break from this blog for a while.  I'll keep the website updated, at http://joannsanborn.com, and post new dailies on http://dailypaintworks.com.  Thanks for your support and for your interest in my work.

In the meantime, know that I'm wishing you the best, whatever your occasion. 

What can a Rose Say? poem by Margie Driver

A rose can say I love you and want you to be mine,

A rose can say I thank you for being so very kind,

A rose can say congratulations, whatever the occasion may be,

A rose can say I miss you and wish you were here with me,

I rose can say I'm sorry if I've hurt you in any way,

A rose can say get well soon, May God bless you today,

A rose can say I wish you happiness, and the best for you each day,

I rose can say farewell, when someone goes away,

A rose can say hello, I'm thinking of you today

There's just so many wonderful things that a rose can say,

A rose can say goodbye when a loved one is laid to rest,

No matter what there is to say a rose can say it best.
