Hand in Hand

Hand in hand

A kite between

High above

A growing tree

Hand in hand

The awkward phase

Little teasing

Cheeks ablaze

Hand in hand

Bound by gold

Wedded now

As they grow old

Hand in hand

Withered beauty

But love thrives

As if their duty

Heart to heart

Hand to stone

Though he wishes

Is still alone

Soul to soul

As tree does perish

Two graves intwine

From a love once cherished

Fantastic job!!! I say this every time but I cannot believe you are 13 and writing like this. So beautiful. The rhyme flows nicely and I love the structure...easy to read and take in. This circle of life poem is among your best I think!

I would only make one change, or not if you wanted another meaning

"From a love once cherished"
to
"Again now cherished"

Just to consider, closing the circle.

Very good job!! Congrats

Thanks so much, I really appreciate it. You have no idea how much this means to me. I'll consider it, thank you. :)

this really touched my heart! I love the repetition and i like the picture for the icon (is that what you call it?) it was very well done and the flow was really good. Well expressed, i love the portrayal of the emotions here.
