The Rose
I love the rose whose elegance and grace
are shown us on her lovely petaled face.
Newly bloomed, she glistens in morning’s dew.
So dazzling is she in her every hue.
Pink, yellow, peach, violet-blue, and red!
Joy she brings to many a garden bed.
But if fidelity you’re thinking of,
pick roses white to give your one true love!
