Flowering

Like a bud slowly opening its petals
one by one to the sun's warmth.
So too does love creep into hearts, 
once there it soon expands blossoming.
Spreading like wildfire it floods and fills  
every little corner and all the cracks.

New love needs special nurturing
just like the buds. In caring hands
it thrives and grows casting all in
golden warmth that shines richly.
Releasing peace and touching
the souls of all who feel it.
