Full of Roses
I realize that life is not all roses
At times just a scent of a rose
Other times a full blossom of roses
The day comes when the roses begin to wilt, die and fall away
There is a gloom in a wilted rose
A lost hope I suppose
Life to me is about a rose
I found the most beautiful rose one day
This rose continues to blossom in my life
Never wilting, never dying, full of life, and blossoms ever so bright
What I found in this rose is, when the scent is right
And it is in full blossom
To cultivate the soil, planting more roses
Clipping the old and wilted away
There is a continual scent of roses, and a fullness of blossoms
So in this one rose, I have planted many
And will continue all my days
Until life is full of roses
