Symbol of the Rose

Stop and smell the roses
God gives us to enjoy
The symbol of his love to us
His mercy, peace and joy

A white one, oh, so beautiful
A saviour white as snow
A spotless, shameless, beautiful Lamb
Jesus loves me, this I know

And there's a pretty yellow one
A Christians duty, the gospel share
To tell the world of God's dear son
To sinners everywhere

But red's the best one of 'em all
A saviour came and died
He shed his precious blood for all
So we, his love could find

I really like this one! It shows the beauty of nature as well as the mercy of God. I just learned a few days ago that 'savior' refers to a man, whereas 'saviour' refers to God; something that is lost in modern English. I think it is fun to write with older words and spellings anyway; it seems to give things a dimention that is not commonly found.

Another fine poem. I love the smell of a rose. I also like the combination of nature and God. Great short story as well.
