David Walker Poet Rhyme

Listen to poem:

Counting Roses

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
