Looking for the Wild Rose Who knows where the wild rose grows In rocky crag, or mountainous slag Beside the brook, oh where should one look? For where would the wild rose grow? The gypsy, she had said to me “Find where the wild rose grows ~ Follow you see yon honeybee And search for your wild red rose.” Honeybee and I searched the valleys Beyond fields so green, we waded streams Following in trance, honeybee and I All for a wild rose dream. We looked so far and wide, you see To find where such wild rose grows But elusive it is, it resides, who knows? Where, indeed, does the wild rose grow? The gypsy said I would find my love That he and I would never part Wherever in secret the wild rose grows Perhaps it blooms only in my heart? But should you find where the wild rose grows Will you cleverly send me a sign? For I would love the Love that stands Wherever, for that wild rose may be mine. ©KRJ 3-15-01 revised 3-10-05 Karilea - if I whisper, will you listen? Keeping in mind, I must stand close...and keep my promises... |

Roses bloom in every word that you write Karilea. hugs, Chris  "The soul that can speak through the eyes can also kiss with a gaze." |

Karilea, you need look no further than your very own heart.   A sweetly, touching poem from your sweet heart.  Linda |

Karilea~ 'Where, indeed, does the wild rose grow?' I would listen to that gypsy ... and keep searching~ Lovely thoughts played my mind as I read~ Thinking I'll take that camera out for a stroll through the meadows today ... for I have seen the wild rose in bloom ... and need to lens-capture it~ *Huglets* ~*Marge*~ ~*When the heart grieves over what it has lost, |

Karilea I have one in my side yard...climbing its heart into everything ....I'll send you a photo. But, I do agree...about the rose being in your heart too! |
