Growing Apart

Though I have seen magnificent beauty in you,
You are but a budding rose on the vine of life.
If I were to snatch you for my own
I could never provide for you all that you need
and you would surely wither and die
before reaching your full majestic beauty

We were once growing close on the vine,
but now we must grow apart.
Know that I will always gaze admiringly
at you from my place on this vine of life.

I will rejoice whenever God's winds blow us close,
and will always hope that He will one day grow us back together.
