You once brought me flowers~ How my heart leapt with joy~ My soul sang for only you~ For you had filled that void~ There was a time I smelled those flowers~ Their scent was oh so sweet~ Your gifts to me were cherished jewels~ I thought I was complete~ Now those flowers have withered and browned~ No longer a beautiful view~ Your love for me has changed it seems~ We take on a different hue~ As Spring comes rolling in~ I will plant a garden anew~ No longer will I wait for love~ To myself I will be true~ "Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind; And therefore is wing'd Cupid painted blind." The Bard |

Mariee~ May your garden bloom anew with flowers colored every hue. When you garden with a song love cannot keep away for long. Beautifully painted pain ... with affirmation in the closing. Nicely done, Mariee. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

I've hung my jesters' hat~ < !signature-->No longer a fool to play~ I'll tend to my garden and my heart~ Hoping love will come my way~ Thank you Hoot_owl and Cheryl~ And thank you Marge~ Your words were very kind~ Marie~ "Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind; And therefore is wing'd Cupid painted blind."

Sometimes it's hard to distinguish between flowers and weeds....but you seem like a smart gardener to me  . Good writing. |

Wow~ Balladeer you read my poem~ I feel honored~ Yes it is hard to distinguish the weeds from the flowers at times~ I'm learning as I go~ Thank you~ Marie~ "Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind; And therefore is wing'd Cupid painted blind." The Bard |
