~~ The Tree Grows A Rose~~

Our love it seems, like childhood dreams and fairy tales of the past
Is still as real and still we feel this love we know will last,
As memories grow like waters flowing gently to the sea,
Our hearts have known a love that's grown and belongs to you and me~

What seeds we sow can only grow with tender hands and care
With gentle rains upon the grain in our garden we share
As our Rose Tree blossoms, and flowers drink the dew
The gentle breeze flows with ease, like the love of me and you~

As days become collections of the past
Come wintry cold from seasons-bold, our Tree of Love will last
And when my years are ended here and to my grave I will go
I'll take with me fond memories,
Of The Tree That Grew The Rose
~

    This reminds me of some classic greeting cards I have seen...the picture, the words of love...I can almost smell the scent of lavender and cedar that come from the chest this was taken from with care...bound in a faded green ribbon....god I love this one...huge hugs, Rom

    awww...this is such a gorgeous metaphore!! theres a greek myth, about an old couple visited by hermese and zeus...and in the night that they stay (the two gods) the old couple dies...as a reward for their kindness, Zeus changes them into two trees, that twine together...this reminded me of that...nicely written Susan!

    Lovely piece, MUST READ

    Oh this is absolutely gorgeous! I am just awe-struck. Geez, don't know what to say. You kinda took my breath away. In a very good way. Beautiful, beautiful write...

    I did notice one typo, I think? wouldn't be me, if I didn't mention it... "What seeds we sow can only grown with tender hands and care" grown / should be grow?
    Just had to read it again... The first stanza just takes my breath away. Lovely write. Thanks for sharing it.

    love it! I always enjoy when people use internal rhymes...they add such a melodious tone to the poem....and are not that easy to pull off. You did it very well and I applaud you for that.

    (I think you may have meant grow instead of grown in the fifth line)

    Hiya Blushful, thank you for commenting onb my poetry! I Always love seeing your comments there..And now, for your poetry!

    My dear poet, I must say that your loving heart is just so apparent in this one. It is soooo good to come across the sweeter, lighter pieces here of love grown, and still growing. I love the imagry, of that every deed that the heart makes, becomes a rose upon a tree..Just utterly beautiful ! I am glad to have found you here!
