Counting Roses
Listen to poem:
Counting the Roses
David J Walker
It is only an estimate
Knowingly inaccurate
To-date
45 years of roses for
Valentine’s Day and if
Each “Would You Be Mine”
Sentiment yields
only a dozen long-stemmed
American Beauties arranged in
a heavy glass vase
the count would be 540
But we both know there were
10 times more counting the
Birthdays and anniversary’s
The I’m sorry’s and the random
Times I fell in love with you
All over again
There should be Millions
Projecting into a
never-ending expression of
I love you
For Eternity
