Her beauty does enthrall in morning light as sunshine paints the sky in hues of pink, and fare thee well is bid to darkest night; upon her face the light and beauty sync. My rose so fresh in early morning air, with pure delight her essence sates the room while filling void with splendor that’s so fair, and sowing seeds of hope for life to bloom. The aura seen ‘round rose throughout mankind caused many men to dream, and bards to muse; led countries into war, and lovers find the reasons they unite; their lives they fuse. The heavens gift which all of mankind knows; the grace and lovely essence of the rose.

Roses have a special meaning to me as they was one of my parents favourite flowers and my father grew many. A superb write my friend. Hugs, Emilia : )

PS..I too wrote a poem some time ago with the very same title but the subject matter is completely different...it is a personification about the essence of Rose who is a old women.
