Rose Royal and stately and lovely the rose Alluring and fragile, with petals exposed Innocent, wild, a maker of bliss Touched by a delicate angel soft kiss Dewdrops of diamonds on velvet of red By raindrops of pleasure the roses are fed The sunlight unwraps each pillow soft page Unfolding the fragrance that lives age to age Love blooms from buds of a delicate rose In innocent softness, it silently grows Elizabeth Santos |

I am very new to the board and still feeling my way around. You write so beautifully and I always look forward to reading your words. I love to garden and this poem makes me long for Spring and my roses. Thank you for sharing and brightening a cold winter day.

Liz this was beautiful and the metaphor of the rose being compared to a delicate rose I know all too well, and I have to add to this ... watch out for the thorns! hehe <font face="monotype corsiva">~* Carpe' Diem *~ |
