Winding Love

I say love is like a fountain
Bubbling from deep within
Flowing on a winding journey
That has no need to end

I say love has many heartaches
That strengthens every need
Makes a soul more understanding
To comfort those who bleed

I say true love reaches  further
Than just one tiny smile
It just keeps on slowly growing 
And goes the longest mile

Love comes in beautiful springtime
Or in the summer heat
It dies in the chill of winter 
Unless love is replete

  



Inspired by the song "The Rose"

Yes, yes, . . . a great start -- love is and love has -- might want to keep tense the same . . . fountain, heartaches . . . maybe "nature/river/lake -- deep, wild and free", . . . so many great possibilities. Keep writing.
