Rose Most Sweet

A rose is but a rose most sweet
When laid before its Maker’s feet
Becomes a sacrifice
A jewel of greatest price
To lift one’s heart, to make one bend
To seek the Son and call Him friend
To know which angel will He send
With muse to make complete
This rose—this rose most sweet.

No sweeter rose shall one partake
Than one which prods the soul awake
To gently look within
To ease the soul from sin
With fragrance from God’s heart above
So filled with Faith and Dreams of Love
That Heaven sent will be the dove
When swooned our souls might meet
This rose—this rose most sweet.

God is the reason for the sweetness of anything.

So beautiful, dear Bob.

Everything that has been created is a perfect reflection of God's infinite beauty and to be aware of this is the greatest gift.

Thank you ladies for your kind replies...

After writing this poem, yesterday evening during our evening walk, my wife and I smelt this beautiful beautiful fragrance, like a light perfume, in the air. My wife smelt it continuously and I just got sporadic whiffs of it every-so-often. My wife asked me if I thought that it might be the presence of the Holy Spirit and I said I don't know, but it could be.... Then, when we arrived home, she said that she smelt it in our house. What a most beautiful place to sense God's spirit. Amen. Anyway, just thought I'd ramble a bit and share. God bless and thank you again.
