Roses

Roses

There is holiness in the roses
Making their mid-day poses
Their graceful notions
And subtle motions
Add perfume to the air,
Enticing lovers to dare,
To linger, while they have the chance
To share a summer day romance.
Rose garden philosophers
Sit quietly writing verse,
Or meander along the rows,
In admiration of the rose;
The flower that can best express
Love's passion and tenderness.
God planned roses with women in mind
And where they grow I can always find
A spot of beauty, a touch of grace,
A reminder of another place
When I give roses to convey
Words that I neglected to say.
Roses speak with an elegant style
To open a door and bring a smile;
The perfect present as anyone knows
For one who is as lovely as a rose
