Love of a father

sorenbarrett

A rosebush, birthed of a seed
Roots planted soil deep
Protecting from weed
Hard trunk guidance does keep

 

Leaves of nurturance
Thorns keep danger away
On dactile stems flowers balance
At its base does not sway

 

Its bark tough, wood strong
Flexible branches hold its prize
Through it a breeze sings its song
Source of beauty threats defies

        You’re welcome! My dad had a ‘boutique’ farm and was into all things trees as well.

        Wow! As a father who still has his father in his life, this one has a special place in my heart. ❤️

                    A rosebush resembling a father (or the other way around), from head to toe, is very unique indeed. Great poem!

                    This is a moving read. It speaks to me of nurture. Qualities passed from father to son. I found strength in the lines and so much more. Strong roots, great foundations. Very nice Soren.

                    • sorenbarrett

                      Thank you again Cassie for the read and comment it is most appreciated. We should all do what will leave something of us behind for future generations
