Memory of a Lovely Rose......


 Grandma Wolf's rose..
We acquired it when she moved from her home of many years..It had been her dad's rose bush in his flower garden when she was growing up.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Love came down at Christmas,
Love all lovely, love divine;
Love was born at Christmas,
Star and angels gave the sign.
Worship we the Godhead,
Love incarnate, love divine;
Worship we our Jesus:
But wherewith for sacred sign?
Love shall be our token,
Love be yours and love be mine,
Love to God and all men,
Love for plea and gift and sign.
~The words and lyrics of the carol 'Love came down at Christmas' were written by the poet Christina Georgina Rossetti 1830-1894)
Merry Christmas
