Blushing Bloom

In a garden where beauty lies in sweet repose A summer breeze caresses the blushing rose And it releases its sweet perfume which makes a painted lady assume It is an invitation to visit the seductive bloom The blazing sun's fiery eyes singe the lovely flower Causing it to hang its delicate head Patiently it waits for an encouraging rain shower But it's the sun's harsh gaze she dreads When heroic clouds obscure the sun The grateful rose lifts its sunburnt face Composing itself before day is done But still longing to bathe in raindrops grace When the velvet night relents to bright eyed dawn The rose is soothed by morning dew As it shines with beauty in the morn Gazing at skies of periwinkle blue But she smiles when gray clouds form As the sun hides from the thunderstorm And when the rain comes tumbling down She bathes in the beauty of her crimson crown
