Love is a Rose
Love is a Rose
That blooms in the garden of the heart.
Precious and prized
it comes in infinite varieties
Yet each new love is fresh and unique-
there has never been
nor ever will be a love just like it.
Love is rooted in caring,
nourished by sharing and warmth by kindness
from the promise of a budding love,
to the glory of full blown love,
every unfolding moment of love
has a beauty all its own.
Love takes tending.
It may need weeding or pruning
to grow stronger.
Love can hold pain, too-
the thorns of misunderstanding or absence.
But still, with careful nurturing,
love can find its way over
and around or through all obstacles.
Love transforms the heart
holding love, for however long or brief a time,
calls forth what is deepest, truest and best in the heart.
Every heart touched by love is reborn -
filled with the miracle of new life.
Love blooms forever in springtime hearts.
