Budding Love

A tenderly caressed love
Blooms as a precious flower
Generous touches, gentle care
Sprinkled by a passionate shower

Grasp it
Cling to it
As if dear life depends

Treasure it
Take care of it
Because the time may come when...

The leaves fall
The blossoms fade
The fragrance a lingering scent

As the miracle of Spring
A prescribed love's bud
Spring anew the memories spent
