Vespetine's Rose...

Why does the night raise forth the past
when boyish affections to a budding rose
were but the longings of a child not yet a man?
I contemplate within day’s gloaming,
so many, many years in passing,
so many, many years in radiant bloom,
a life, my wife, proud mother to my children,
grandmother to my daughter's son,
within my heart, my ever beauteous rose.

...*sigh*

may we all someday be blessed with the love you are here describing!
so many years of wonderful blossoming adoration!

If you have never read the words of
Dave Smith, I believe you would enjoy
him. Now and then you remind me of him
[or is it he reminds me of you?] The one
book of his I have is The Wick of Memory
but he has some 16 poetry books published,
a few fiction, a couple of anthologies, etc.

Happy Reading [on both sides, Sir!]
