Let Love Grow

A rose bud while still tightly closed
A promise of inner beauty 
Each day finds tiny changes
Until the rose opens and blooms

Your love is kept so tightly closed
In your heart without letting go
Like the rose before it has bloomed
Open up to show feelings within

Roses need sun and water to grow
Rich soil to feed the lovely blooms 
Your heart needs love freely given
Without anything asked in return

Nurtured by loving hands, a rose
Will bloom so exquisitly
A heart that is tended with love
Will bloom with true love endlessly

Fully bloomed roses are such treasures
Whose price can be measured with gold
Real love can not be bought or sold
Open your heart to let love grow
