Poem

A Rose Amid The Snow

Who knows...amidst the cold of winter,
When spring is just a memory
And her flowers all decay,
Leaving just a trace of a
Once glorious bouquet...
That love lies dormant in the snow
Determined to survive!

It is too late for spring
To come again this way.
Her rosebuds bloom just once
Before they fade away,
Despite our desperate pleading
For them to stay.
Love is only for the young...
How can it come my way?

Spring and summer love
Awaken us to life
We only hear the music
Not the possibility of strife.
We are the young...
Invincible are we
Love will last forever
Just you wait and see!

Well...love doesn't last forever
Sometimes we grow apart
Or death intervenes
To break a grieving heart.
Love becomes a word
Too painful to endure
And we become immune
To it's powerful allure.

But if your heart is open
To the stirring in the snow
And you dig beneath the surface
To the earth where flowers grow,
You will find a rose still blooming
As it did once long ago.
Pluck it gently...hold it fast...
For the love you find in winter
Like the rose will truly last.

When spring is gone
And love grows cold,
Turn your face to the sun.
For love is best as we grow old
And life's battles have been won.
Open your heart to love again
Your life has just begun.

Bridgettei really like this. it was great. it descrbed, im pretty sure, what people think and feel when something like this happens to them. i know it has happened to me, but not in a high, ripping of the soul or terribled heart ached kind of way. it was and will be the only time it will ever happen to me. I hope it doesnt happen to anyone else. And i will take one of your lines into conisderation. it gave me great hope and i will pass it on to everyone i know whenever they are feeling down.usa11/15/2007 2:08:17 PM
LeeThank you for sharing this wonderful poem. My hubby died late November last year, and your poem finds a corresponding deep emotion inside me, particularly its final line, which is full of hope and encouragement: 'Open your heart to love again Your life has just begun.'
