Did you once feel like a sweet Juliet rose?
A floriferous sweet rose, soft and pink

Now sweet petals have lost their bloom
windswept in a fragrant tea breeze
but it is just a new beginning
a new tango, a new blossom to appease

End of a storm, beginning of dawns light
end of a rainbow, is golden moonlight

The end of summer rain, welcomes the fall
as pirouette leaves rejoice in awe

The end of brisk winter is the birth of spring
a new born baby, a lullaby to sing
a new toy rattle, a new teething ring

End of a sunset, end of childbirth
little feet pattering, heaven on earth

A sienna robin falling from a nest
only to discover it has been blessed
with feathered wings, dancing with zest

Sometimes teardrops in the wind blows
Into a blossom, a Juliet rose

You can complain because roses have thorns, or you can rejoice because thorns have roses.

Nicely done. You don't have "winter" in your part of Texas, do you

thank you sandra..actually it wasnt really about losing
youth..it was about losing other things as maybe
a lost love..but doesnt have to mean the end of the world
because there are other things in life to look forward to.

lauren thank you so much

thank you lngjhn..when i find myself thinking i wish spring
would get here..i think no i dont want to rush the days
life flys by too fast as it is

interloper..thank you..yes we do have winter..it snowed a couple of
times so far..its snowing right now ha..Im in north Texas..Amarillo..
thank you for peeking in
