Where Love Grew Collaboration With Poet Freddie Robinson Jr

Where Love Grew 



Beneath the maple tree 
is where our love first started to grow 
Green buds of unblossomed love, 
basking in the golden dappled light 
of spring’s awakening 
A sweet kiss given, 
sweet as maple ... 
given beneath the swaying branches 
Dancing to the wind music of spring, 
as you lullabied me with sweet whisperings 
Under the unshaded maple tree 
is where our love first began to seed, 
and take root into the heart of me 
Beneath the maple tree 
is where your love started to grow inside of me 

Your love lifted me above the branches so high 
It took me beyond the expansion 
of the bright blue sky 
Lasting longer than time 
marked in tree rings to be seen 
For in the seed of growth came strength of bond 
that flourished on soft emerald grass, 
under the shaded maple tree 
Through rain and sun, 
all storms to pass 
Our sweet whisperings of love do last 
Within my heart, within my soul, 
I am as tall as the maple tree with you 
We are still dancing to the wind music 
each spring anew 
Beneath the maple tree 
where our love grew
