I'd tie you up nicely not fiercely not tightly I'd tie you up lightly and gently with care I'd save you from flapping and bending and snapping And recklessly reaching too high in the air We'd stay in fine places see only kind faces Have all of the sunshine and birdsong and rain But tethered together I'd shelter from weather And I'd have the pleasure with none of the pain You'd still get diseases and danger from breezes And bugs and disorders and predatory threats But I would be stable and sturdy and able To tell you this life is as good as it gets
I really love this. The ways to interpret it. Is it referring to my much loved passion flower,clematis and other climbers.? Or is it referring to the care and love we should have for each other. The choice is yours. Either way is wonderful.

Having just read this I will think very differently about my garden string the next time I use it

The illustration makes it very clear now that the string is addressing the rose. Great Poem and drawing, Gill.
