My Blooming Rose

Oh my wilted flower
I devote this poem to you my love
I devote this poem to you

You are like a phantom in the night
who appears in my dreams
You are an inspiration full of light
So I devote it all to you

you give so much love and beauty
Even though they take it away when they pick at you
You give so much love and beauty and grow again
So you can prove it to the world

And I devote it you
I will water you and nurture you
So your roots stay strong and your petals bloom

I will water you
And feed you
So your thorns will defend them from picking at you
And I devote it all to you
My Blooming Rose

Hi Nina, Congratulations on your awesome win. Thank you so much for supporting my contest. Stop by my blog "LAST CALL" if you like. ((( note from MEakaPD Thank you ALL for waiting and chilling, while I sat on the sideline. Since March 1st, I moved to the 4th largest city in the USA (by population.) One of the hardest decisions EVER-EVER!!! I will keep short on my visits until April 1st. After that, there's no holding me back LOL -unless God has other plans. Always & Forever ~LINDA~
