Love Blooms In Early Age

Love blooms in early age, showing itself First in fleeting juvenile attraction, Soon dismissed and put on a lowly shelf Remembered for its brief satisfaction, Gives to future emotional flings traction Then one day it appears in fullest bloom, Sweeping aside old fears like a broom A spark of fire lit in the waiting heart, A promising future will suddenly loom Life begins a new most meaningful start. written September 7, 2021

Great Dizain, eloquently crafted, Milton, I loved those 2 lines: Then one day it appears in fullest bloom, Sweeping aside old fears like a broom. Blessings, my friend.

This made me think of puppy love's state of mind that everyone goes through when very young. Although not too sure if it exists these days. Everyone captivated by their cell phones...Delice

Yes, I had that in mind, too, when I was writing this, Delice. I'm not sure young people go through that either nowadays. Times have certainly changed. Have a wonderful week.
