The Rose
by
John William McGrath III
Why does every one love the rose?
It is the essence of beauty you see
Fragrance saying love! thru the nose
Meditate on it to achieve ecstasy
The olfactory senses the variations
Causing the attraction to ALL around
Raising Spirit's heavenly sensations
Lifting you far above the ground...
Some roses the color of the heart
And some the color of the sun
Others colored as the soul, in part
To fit our mood the favorite one
And then another as we smile or cry
So we have this gift of God, the Rose
Dressed in any hue, A rose will never lie
One or twenty one... It's memory will never die
