Poem
Who knows…amidst the cold of winter When spring is just a memory And her flowers all decay Leaving just a trace of A once glorious bouquet… That love lies dormant in the snow Determined to survive! It is too late for spring To come again this way Her rosebuds bloom just once Before they fade away Despite our desperate Pleading for them to stay Love is only for the young… How can it come my way? Spring and summer love Awakens us to life We only hear the music Not the possibility of strife We are the young… Invincible are we Love will last forever Just you wait and see! Well…love doesn’t last forever Sometimes we grow apart Or death intervenes To break a grieving heart And love becomes a word Too painful to endure And we become immune To its powerful allure But if your heart is open To the stirring in the snow And you dig beneath the surface To the earth where flowers grow You will find a rose still blooming As it did once long ago Pluck it gently…hold it fast For the love you find in winter Like the rose…will truly last When spring is gone And love grows cold Turn your face to the sun For love is best as we grow old And life’s battles have been won Open your heart to love again You’re life has just begun Copyright© 2005 Beatrice Boyle (All rights reserved)
