Colin Johnston - 014: The Garden

<font color=green>You are my Lily, I am your Rose
In our Garden we repose
I watch you blossom
Day and Night
To care for you is what I like

To give you shelter, to see you fed
To lie together, in our bed
To see the seasons, come and go
Is all I'll ever want, you know
My Love for you, will never fail
Your Beauty and Perfume prevail

Two flowers both from different pots
Arranged together as a show
Your scent was all that I could smell
No other fragrance, could I tell
We've been together, since that night
We met each other long ago

The seeds we sowed in later days
Have grown in their separate ways
Each different, but, in a way, the same.
Reflections of those other plants
From which we hope they'll gain

I hope their Garden grows like ours
So love can blossom like the flowers
And in their turn produce new buds,
That grow themselves,
To be Loved...

(For my Children and theirs)
