Such a flower of beauty
Quite perfect in creation
This flower when compared to love
Is strong in its relation

Its aroma will allure you
The fragrance will entrance
If it captures all your senses
Your heart begins to dance

The colors know no boundary
T'ween yellow, white and red
And love sees not what's outside
But what's inside instead

Its petals folded tightly
They delicately entwine
And form a bond together
That grows stronger over time

Tis quite a thing of beauty
As it starts with petals closed
And opens to full bloom
As love does when it grows

A rose is just the perfect theme for a good poem, isn't it?... and you've done a wonderful job bringing it to life through your words, Rebecca...
