Only the Rose -------------------- In the garden, many flowers grow There is a special one That I nolonger hold It lies in the heart of the garden and in the heart of my soul I long to touch its precious beauty and breathe its sweet scent, Its image is with me everywhere, as I fall asleep, and with my first breath of the morning air I have tempted other flowers in the garden but show no emothion, they will ever know My heart is lost to that special flower, and as I walk through the garden, I know, I can love, Only the Rose. James Parker Haley Feb 1993 |

All I can say is that this Rose is a very lucky lady!!! Good poem too! Open arms can be the most fragile in the world... |

Very lovely..makes me wish for spring and the sight and smell of the roses in my mother's garden...great work! *Krista Knutson* ~*Like a lion, without fear of the howling pack, Like a gust of wind, ne'er trapped in a snare, Like a lotus blossom, ne'er sprinkled by water, Let me, like a unicorn, in solitude roam.*~ Hymn Of Buddha |

Thanks Quiet Lightning, and Lynn.... I believe that the Rose is just natures personification of the female beauty and spirit. Oh yes and let me not forget their sweet, leg weakening, scent. James (Parker) |
