English Yellow Rose

Born and raised in the middle of Bristol,
a yellow rose grew up strong but wistful.
In the middle of an English garden she grew up.
Amongst the grass, not far from a country club.
Soon in life she found herself alone, with her troubles walking around on her own.
She stood up in that garden 
with a new rosebud to feed,
She had to show her spines, 
the other face to be harden.
That English yellow rose needs to be cut from her roots
to keep on flourishing again
in a new beginning.

let's wish for her a new beginning. Have you heard the song Yellow Rose of Texas? I love roses for personification

Yes, Andrea...Thank you. She really need it. Yes, I know the song. It's a classic western song. It was recorded by many singers, but the most popular it was the one by Mitch Miller. Very nice song, as the most of the classics. Anyway. Have a nice day...!
