Roses For P D
The rose, memorialized by William Shakespeare,
Has been on this Earth for some millions of years.
Did she dazzle in her pre-historic existence?
Did her beauty bring the dinosaurs to tears?
Despite her age, the rose is still a winner.
She's the queen of all of flowerdom today.
New varieties entrance and scents enchant me
As I linger on my rose lined walkaway.
No other flower has so long a season.
None other comes in such beguiling dress.
A lover chooses her to woo his lady,
Who accepts his gift and holds it to her breast.
She comes in all the latest styles and colors.
Her scent is mesmerizing to the nose.
With nothing in this whole wide world so lovely,
My valentine for P. D. is the rose.
