Roses Blooming

In my life I find you
always attentive
always kind.
Never have I looked over
except you looked back
with peace.

A goodness surrounds you
and fills the space
of where you are.
You support my hope
with constant faith
and earnest help.

You are not a scholar
but your spirit
is wise of the ages.
For it is connected to
eternal truth
by a silver cord.

You are not mine
and I am not yours
yet we love.
You are tangled in me
and I in you
like rose bushes.
