A seed that grew and was cared for by love
Watered through the years with words of wisdom
Nurtured to emerge to a colorful burst of life
But a sadness has grown from unfulfilled dreams
Colors and fragrances now just part of my memories
Struggling to see the beauty as a part of life’s garden
Have glimpsed the growth and watered it from time to time
But wasn’t there to talk or to have any influence
To gaze on her essence from afar filled me with pride
As she gained age with sun and rain I anticipated with excitement the flower she would one day become
The Rose has transcended before full maturity
There is another flower
Shared the garden with The Rose
Nurtured with the same water of wisdom and sunshine love
Sharing the beauty and hue of sky when a storm has passed
I yearn to be there to water and help care for her and watch this flower fully blossom……
