A single yellow Rose

Love and the Poor Man

A single yellow Rose

Is all I had to propose

I didn't have a ring for your finger

But I gave my heart of gold

You still accepted me

Because of the Love 

You showed for me

It started with a hug underneath the apple tree

Now we are going to start

A life together you and me

So romantic wait and see

My love will grow each day for thee

Now we will confess our love

Before our friends and family

and will live together forever and a day

Till the sun does no longer rise in the eastern skies

I love the purity of love expressed here. The concept that love truly does not cost a thing is so undervalued in today's society. I respect that you have taken your words and emphasized this message. Thank you for sharing.

I'll bet with a love like that your lady needed no ring of gold. Sweet and heartfelt and destined to make all the single ladies wistful. Lovely poem.

[Helen Crutchett]

Beautiful poem full of love. The idea of the yellow rose really worked. I'm sure any woman would have been pleased to receive that whilst being proposed to. Good work!

Smitty: Stopped at a heart made of gold and it is beautiful! Now, what honesty in the second stanza: I visualize you and her under that tree: (to me, the rose should suffice); Till the sun no longer rises in the eastern skies: This is how love is and should be; what lovely words and flow; I always love your writings; they come from the heart..it's like the dream we all desire...what a lovely visual you have formed in my mind. The title: A single yellow Rose I love, how gorgeous it is. Keep writing so I can smile more. Wow. Thank you so much -
