Real Love - Like a Rose

Real love – like a rose - 
is perennial.
Tolerant is the rose
and able to withstand frosty days.
When a chill is in the air,
two partners can talk things through.

Real love – like a rose -
does not give up and die.
It survives
year after year after year.
Pruning, though, is required.
With time -two 
in a committed relationship
can improve communication
and strengthen the foundation
of their ties.

Rooted in rich soil,
faces to the sun, they thrive.
Real love – like a rose -
is perennial.
