Good morning, Amy - hope that everyone is feeling better today than yesterday.

Very strange the way the animated rose looks on the thread (thought it was just in My Comments, because that doesn't always preview correctly, but it's the same on the thread). I know that your text is exactly the way we set it up, for the rose to open below the poem credit, and that's the way it still is when I view the source code and open it in my browser. :(

The name of the author of the poem is Nicholas Gordon, and I hate it's covered up by the animated rose.

Such a precious little girl and the poem...so perfect and sweet.

Hello friends. My heart is heavy and troubled, but I am here with you and answer the morning's welcome with a soothing Irish tune....

Red is the Rose

Come over the hills my handsome Irish lad
Come over the hills to your darling
You choose the road love, and I'll make a vow
That I'll be your true love forever

Red is the rose by yonder garden grows
And fair is the lily of the valley
Clear is the water that flows from the Boyne
But my love is fairer than any

Down by Killarney's green woods we did stray
The moon and the stars they were shining
The moon shone it's rays on his locks of golden hair
And he swore he'd be my love forever

Red is the rose by yonder garden grows
And fair is the lily of the valley
Clear is the water that flows from the Boyne
But my love is fairer than any

It's not for the parting that my sister pains
It's not for the grief of my mother
It's all for the loss of my handsome Irish lad
Now my heart is broken forever

Red is the rose by yonder garden grows
And fair is the lily of the valley
Clear is the water that flows from the Boyne
But my love is fairer than any
