Bed of Roses

The love
you've sown within
the heart and soul of me
grows like a lush summer garden
and I am filled with your tender beauty
I gather roses in the sun
and offer you bouquets
on petals sweet
we lie

What a beautiful love poem, Robin! Life is not always a "Bed of Roses," but I see hope in these words and I am happy for you!!! Love, Carolyn (By the way, "Bed of Roses" is the name of one of my favorite movies. It makes me cry each time I see it. If you haven't seen it yet, I know you will not be disappointed if you check it out.)
