Love Is As Love Grows

Love is as love grows It grows when you raise children and laugh and cry It grows when you overlook the beauty of a new flower to the beauty of crushed flowers in your memory book As if to remember what had budded in your youth but is still precious as it ages and sages are confounded to perceive its presence but as each day passes you are bound by faith if by nothing else to abide by the changing generations that define it Finally, Love is simple So let us enjoy it before we grow ancient and fail to remember because Love is as love grows

Thank you, Mary Jo: Good to speak to you again. This is the first poem I wrote on our anniversary and I've been writing poems on each anniversary since.

Sweet. Yes...love goes through different phases and stages but it is still love. Loved the part about flowers pressed in a book. I dry flowers and enjoy their beauty longer. Lovely write.
