From Bud To Full Blown Blossom

tiny pink buds
trimming little girls lace pinafores
one lone rose in a crystal vase at church
delighting those who take a whiff 

knock-out roses
neon and fabulous
showing off in the garden
marigolds and lilacs jealous 

yellow roses 
given by unsure suiter
who was afraid to choose the red ones
greeted with a fabulous smile 

white roses 
in bride’s bouquet
enhancing her virginity
delighting her father and mother
honoring Christ

L Milton Hankins Date: 3/29/2021 7:10:00 PM Nice verse, well-written, Caren. Loved your explanation of the different colors of roses. Never really thought about that...what man does??? Login to Reply L Milton Hankins Date: 3/30/2021 9:34:00 AM OK, I'm going to remember that...but, my once-in-a-lifetime true love is gone. Guess I'll just buy red roses for my own enjoyment!
