Poem – Windswept Rose

It was a summers day
when he found himself alone
another broken hearted moment
along a gravel road.

He thought he’d found it
after all these years
through countless miles
and what seemed a million tears

in her eyes he saw
sunlight in the morning dew
it was here it was now
the love he never knew

what is in a heart
besides a life bestowed
what is love, after all
but a windswept rose
