Loving Is a Rose Garden

Let it bloom.

Loving is planting a rose garden.
The seeds were planted, the water given,
but only in the right conditions will they grow.

And they did.

As the plant unfurls toward the sun, there will be thorns.
But there will be delicate, life-giving leaves
to keep the roots alive.

Only time and nurturing will bring the blossom,
but first must come the bud.
Care for it, and it will unfold, it will bloom.

I agree dear Poet.
"Only time and nurturing will bring the blossom,
but first must come the bud.
Care for it, and it will unfold, it will bloom."
The above lines are true. Love need care, concern and reminders. Thank you for sharing the amazing poetry.
