I planted a rose-bush
In my garden,
To remind me of you.
And when I did,
I planted it deep
In the chambers
Of my heart, too.
To help me remember
To tend to it
In all sorts of weather.
To watch over it
When storm clouds rise,
And when
The skies are better.
I planted the rose
With loving care,
And gave it
Water to grow.
I nourished the bush
Inside with love
And memories
We both know.
I sheltered the rose
In the pouring rain,
And treated it
With insecticide.
I sheltered the one
Within with trust,
And refused to
Give in to pride.
The bush is growing
With beautiful flowers.
I’m happy as
Birds that fly,
For my inside bush
Is full of joy,
And love flows
In you and I.
It’s important to nourish
The bush outside,
As well as
The bush within,
For it takes two people
Working on it,
For any heartache
To mend.
