A Rose For All Seasons

(an anniversary offering)

this gift to you of perfumed love

confirms my heart is taken

although at times we disagree

does not mean i'm mistaken

it simply states that i am free

to voice my thoughts at leisure

and you my darling are the one

to suffer that forever

your poem puts a big smile on me face Christine! what a fine love you speak of ... and a pretty good relationship too! Norma and i were on the same pages politically and spiritually so on those we preached to the choir when talking about world happenings .. but on people .. she relied on her Italian "spider sense" and held those snap opinions as etched in stone where i took a long time to decide that someone may not be the greatest person in the world .. both qualities of strength and weakness ;) love your poem .. made me think of Norma

[Chris Shaw]

I am so pleased this little poem made you smile and think of your Norma. Married to John now for 38 years. We get along well but like all couples have our moments. This loving tribute to him I couldn't help but end the way I did. My wicked sense of humour came out to play. I also have some Italian in me but it is well diluted now. Going back I think to the 17th century. Italians that made their way to Britain. Many thanks Mr E for visiting this one :)

Ahh arguments that couples often have even when they deeply love each other

[Chris Shaw]

Spoken like a true woman! Lol. We both love and torture our menfolk, don't we? They just have to take the good with the bad and accept lovely perfumed gifts like your poem here. Hopefully your Mister read this and was touched and also got the hint! Lovely rhyme, Chris.🌹

Many thanks Viktoria for your visit and review. Good to see you here.

Beautifully stated, dear Chris! With one graceful sweep of your quill, you express the love and affection in your heart and clear your stand too. We agree, disagree, voice our opinions, not for anything else but to grow in the relationship. Without the freedom to do so, it wouldn't be love after all. No suffering here, only joy! A poem that has such a spirit and glow!

[Chris Shaw]

Thank you DIVYA for another thoughtful review. You dear poet are much appreciated and valued.

[Amanda Moubarak]

yes so true, I think we can disagree with people with neither of us being right or wrong. We may simply see things differently. it's all about perspective. And being free around people and being able to say your thoughts and hear theirs is the best kind of love

[Betty Hermelee]

Just because we don't agree all the time, doesn't mean that I'm mistaken; it simply means that I am free to express myself in my own ways; Seems that your darling will have to live with your freedom, which he may not like. But, that is how a relationship works; love isn't always cherry pie. Very Well done my dear Chris.
The best you you always, Betty
