A Single Rose

I would rather have a single rose
from the garden of a friend, than
to have a truck load at my end.

I`d rather have a kind word from a
loved one, or a friend, than to have someone
say kind words at my end.it`s terrible being
alone but everybody has lives of their own.

They send cards at christmas, but thats not the same,
i wish they would visit and sit in the swing
laugh, and talk, maybe a game of chess,i want to
feel their love before i take my rest.

Bring me a pretty rose i can smell and see
can`t you just come and visit with me...

I really enjoyed your poem and understand where your
coming from. I have a large family I never see. I have lots of freinds that never visit. I enjoyed it very much.

I agree, time with someone is best spent sitting on a swing and relaxing and just taking it easy and enjoying each others company....keep writing and please check out more of my poetry when you have time...you have so many poems here...I will try to check all or most of them out when time permits...swing away...I love swings...do you have a porch swing? If you do, lucky you...I have a friend who moved to Tennessee that I lost contact with...not even sure what part of Tennessee she is in...Pam
