An English Rose

Listen to poem:

An English Rose

My english rose a flower so devine. 
Gods inspiration sent down from up high
only ever matched when pretty girls smile

Pretty as a picture, precious, sublime
natures picture, perfect mona lisa
 My english rose a flower so devine
 
Silk flowers who's aroma is sublime
whos petals capture english summer time
 only ever matched when pretty girls smile

The classic symbol of  love undying
even the most beautiful girl would prize
 My english rose a flower so devine 

 A flower treasured by our kings and queens
a rose can say sweetest things,i love you
 only ever matched when pretty girls smile

the english rose inspires loves true desire   
 summers english rose true flower  power
 My english rose a flower so devine 
 only ever matched when pretty girls smile
