Notes About The Poem

Image result for bleeding heart vine on bower

With'Ring Wish

When I was young my heart bloomed like a flower

          Love's guileless petals spread to climb life's bower

               Oh, if withered vines could still but climb, I'd then

     Bring forth one more blossom to remember ... when.
