My Rose

Most look at a rose like a bee
Color and beauty is all they see
What about the story and tale it tells
What about how it feels rather than smells
There is much to a see and feel from a rose
Watch it blossom and bloom as it grows
Look deep into the petals that catch your eyes
See a wondrous and amazing beauty inside
Something so small and quaint can change a place
Ever caressing and soothing it with its grace
Turning foes to friends, friends to lovers
Peace and harmony the world it covers
Thorns it has will never harm gentle hands
Grasp too tightly and your touch it banes
The story it tells is one of strength and courage
Braving it all with love, peace, and marriage
Marriage of the soul to the one it craves
Against the odds and cruelty it braves
Such a little thing alone it teach us this
For all the years what did I miss
Just a flower is what we saw all this time
To ignore it thoughts and feelings was our crime
We take for granted what we hold
Yet with love and purity it stands bold
My rose given to me can never be replaced
Never again will I let its story go to waste
For my Rose is both beautiful inside and out
The joy and experience of love I cannot live without
For my Rose is about Love and Passion to me
That and much more in my Rose I see
