Promise of the Rose The climbing rose that looked so dead All winter long, in April shed Its dull, brown shade and turned to green, While here and there, small leaves were seen And later on, in June, each bloom, Will flaunt its color and perfume! The corner of the house, it claims And sends red flowers, like small flames Cascading from the roof to ground And ever present is the sound Of bees, who visit every day And scatter pollen on their way. Its color seems to catch the eye Of people who are passing by. Then when the season's done, I know That even buried under snow, The heart of it will surely thrive Emerging in the spring, alive!

This is so lovely. I don't have domestic roses, but I do have lovely wild roses growing in the woods. They are magnificant and in full bloom now. Alison |

Hi Betty, In a way, your wise little piece is a reflection of life too, no? Love, MiCheLLe If there cannot be equal in affection, then let the one with more be me - midnightblues |
