I had a lot of fun with this poem. This poem is about life, about childhood, about trials and burdens, about separation, about death, about salvation about Heaven.

Under a Sycamore Tree

Laughing, crying, dying...
All while under the "Sycamore tree".

Looking out at the "Water Lilies",
Eloquence and persuasion,
Flower of July, drifts along the stagnet pond, as the wind gently blows.

Looking back at the "Spindle Tree"
I see two hearts engraved, a reminder of your love for me.

Walking back along the path towards home,
-you pass me a "pink rose".

Love glows as perfect is our happiness, this day.
Accepting that the symbol of a "Pomegrante Blossom" may not pass this way.
I pick a "pansy flower" and stick it in my hair.

You laugh as we walk away.
Holding hands but for a day.

Glancing at a "Houseleek" we smile.
Knowing the secret of love, it is true friendship.
Love is vivacious more so with each passing trial.

Clinging together we'll walk through this life, one step at a time.
Stringing "Ivy", holding hands, fidelity in marriage is stronger than any rhyme.

Planting the "Myosotis" I will not remember you in rue.
Once again we are separated, due to circumstance, but still the "Myosotis" blooms, as I remember you.

Soon the "Dandelion" will bloom so pretty and bright.
Such a little flower, forever a reminder for you to take delight.

Perhaps one day we will plant a "Fig Tree"
To symbolize peace and abundance, as love grows between you and me.

April is the month of "Eglantine"
Spring and poetry did you not know, silly love of mine?

Of this riddle do not tire...
I have not given you the gift of the "Brier"
Of love take time to be thoughtful, adding courage and strength. To your desire.

One day soon we'll laugh vivaciously under yonder "Sycamore Tree"
Looking across the way to the "Almond Blossoms"

Our love will be as the "Chrysanthemum"
Filled with cheerfulness and optimism.

Looking forward to a better day.
We laugh, we cry, we die, too soon will the world find we have gone away.

Looking for us, soon we'll be found.
Buried under yonder "Sycamore Tree"...

Holding hands once again, we'll laugh and play.
As along the streets of gold we will walk away.

Memories of who we were fast faded away.
"Sakaki Branches" long long past crumbled and forgotten.

Glancing around our heavenly home.
We smile as we think of yonder "Sycamore Tree" we laugh once again.
Knowing we have found the "Traveler's Joy" we'll never again roam.

Other's may have found their love as the "Yucca" plant.
But our love has been planted under yonder "Sycamore Tree"
Holding hands we'll walk together all through out eternity.

Laughing, crying, dying, buried under yonder "Sycamore Tree"
Walking now in eternity, all the world will know how love is meant to be.

Grasping our Saviour's hand we will forever hold tight.
For it was Him who kept us safe through the darkest night.
If it were not for "Him" we would never be able to see the "Tree of Life.
