My Funny Valentine (2012)

Love like a tree.


Take the love, 
that is laid before you,
Plant  a seed
nurture it
Let it grow.


Sit under the spring blossom,
as that great canopy
and hearty boughs 
shade you from the 
Wiley wares of  the  seasons weather

Though the leaves
will  change,
and seasonally drop,
and occasionally a branch
must surely fall

Let love
be your tree
let it take root
and spread

wide and far…
