Description
This picture of milkweed pods is, to me, a reminder that even in death there is beauty and new life. The pods are empty but their seeds have flown and will start new plants.
This poem is one of my favorites because my baby sister loved it and read it often as she lay ill and dying. It gave her peace, I think, so I use it often.

I forgot to add this to my comment, I see that the poem, so lovely is a small piece of a larger piece called "Finally Home" by L.E. Singer and Don Wyrtzenr. I believe L. E. Singer wrote the lyrics/poem and that Don Wyrtzen wrote the music more recently. I was so inspired by how you did your card and your description, I had to go to Amazon and download an Mp3 of this song, found a nice vocal of it by someone named Chelsea Janzen.
Carol Senske replied:
I am so pleased to learn the origin of these beautiful and touching words. I'm going to search out the song and listen. I will also need to search for my original design and change it to give credit to the writer. This was such a comfort to my sister. You've given me a gift, Paula - thank you:>)
