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

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 :)
