A soft breeze gently rustles the golden leaves that have fallen scattered about, below the twisted grey branches of the tree from which we used to swing. Our names, carved by the hand of this tenderhearted young boy, still echo love, of youth and of each other. I now take your hand in mine, and beneath the shadow of this tree, a testament and reminder of our love, I ask that we never allow it to fade into the greyness of those limbs or to dry and crumble like the leaves that have fallen to the ground. But that we allow it to grow ever upward, and to be strong, as the trunk of the great tree itself that bears the evidence of this great love, which beneath it's arms began. Christopher M.

Love between two people that grows deep and strong even as they age and their youth decays. If only that were usually true.  Enjoyed the poem.Mike |

I do so love this!! I am a pushover for the "Mushy Love Stuff"!! Hence the reason most of my poetry is about "Love"!! Anywayz, very sweet!! Bridgette "Creation of woman from the rib of Man: She was not made from his head to top him; nor out of his feet to be trampled upon by him; but out of his side to be equal with him, under his arm to be protected, and near his heart to be loved." -Unknown |

Nicely done Chris I like trees and I'm a sucker for a fairy tale love story so you had my attention right away. What a great idea to take love and the tree growing to maturity in parallel!*clapping* Eric. "We are the music makers and we are the makers of dreams." - Willy Wonka. |
