Petals of the White Rose

Dreaming by the morning moon
protected in a tight cocoon
so pale in the gloom
Petals of the white rose

Stretching at the sun light smiles
reflecting on its dew drop tiles
a glow that’s seen for miles
The waking of the white rose

Delicate as the summer breeze
pearly white of royal genes
a queen within the garden green
the blooming of the white rose

Soft as love you give it when
hearts should touch a frail friend
before the gift of life might end
The message of the white rose

As we cry these tender woes
and say goodbye to them we know
they'll fly wherever spirits go  
On petals of a soft white rose.

Parker (c) Feb 13, 2000

hi parker.  A beauty of a poem, m'love puppy..lol

I too, love the imagery of purity of a white rose...and because I'm sad t'nite...I'll share a bit with you.

"A rose, in full, drops a petal,
and yearns to be all together..."

Hugs, and hey, hope grammaw is doing well. Prayers.
