The Blue Rose and Me
As I walked through the garden alone
I pondered the flowers I saw
Though their names to me were unknown
Their beauty left me in awe
I was amazed at all the colors there
For all the world to see
But one that I saw was beyond all to compare
No other had called out to me
A lone blue rose with petals spread wide
It put all others to shame
And though others may have tried
Their beauty just wasn’t the same
It mimicked the sky in tint
And smelled sweeter than a garden in may
With just a hint of mint
It created quite a display
It left me feeling awestruck
I stopped and stared for a while
I wondered absently if I’d get bad luck
If I picked it, it might be worthwhile
But instead I stood and admired it
Till me feet ached from standing
It entranced me more than I’d like to admit
And left me without understanding
How could a mere Blue Rose
Change things deep within me
How much a change, nobody knows
Just the Blue Rose and Me
