A Wild Rose

A wild rose was
growing along the
mountain road
    so freely,

until a young couple
came passing by one
fine day, so long ago.

She stooped down
and picked this flower
so beautiful to behold.

These young dear ones
made a vow that day,
saying that their love
would grow into the

beauty of this wild rose,
so tender and sweet,
a delicate love,
toward each other,

till the end of
time, to cast a
beauty like the
wild rose had
done for them.

This is beautiful, a great comparison of love to the rose. Descriptive and so flowing a read. Very well done! Michael
