Little Sparrow (A Song) Poem by Barry Middleton

oh yes
love has the rose's blush
as love is just a rose
but colors fade like trust
I see life as roses

je vois la vie en rose

for when
you took me in your arms
I knew the sweet perfume
of love and all its charms
I see life as roses

je vois la vie en rose

you gave
your kiss to me in spring
I held the reddest rose
but pedals soon take wing
I see life as roses

je vois la vie en rose

and now
as winter brings the frost
and only thorns remain
I search for what was lost
I see life as roses

je vois la vie en rose

I know
that love always deceives
yet pray upon my knees
to hold that rose again
I see life as roses

je vois la vie en rose

oh yes
love has the rose's blush
as love is just a rose
but colors fade like trust
I see life as roses

je vois la vie en rose
