~ The Heather and the Rose ~

There is a common trust
found between two flowers
of beauty this is a must
together they'll spend hours.

Though the heather only is seen
to wear purple or pink in the evergreen,
the rose is brilliant on the scene
wearing many colors with a stem of green.

But should you have to choose between
the two for a flower to your yard adorn,
it might be the heather of evergreen
rather than the rose with the thorn.

Nevertheless these two are lovely
to see and to admire in nature's state,
with the breeze of summer gently
moving each for us to now relate.

Each is dependent upon another,
the heather holds the soil in place,
while the rose is lovely to another
to smell the fragrance and embrace.

The heather and the rose forever
as are a woman and a man today
working in harmony to never
let the other fail or wilt away.
