The Marriage Rose

“The Marriage Rose” The marriage rose grows without any strain It has seen joy in its blooms but also has seen pain The beautiful bloom also has its thorn And without hesitation a brand new bud is born One bloom dies and another bloom grows It’s a beautiful process and through eternity flows Its pedals are soft and the fragrance is sweet With the passion of time they fall calmly to our feet Bewildered I give one to my new soul mate The universe guides us to a new loving fate Given through love that will never ever die Love has its joy but will also make us cry Now I only see blooms and the thorns are no more With a love that blesses me right down to my core And this is the question I most humbly pose Will everyone see the beauty of a joyous Marriage Rose? 3/15/11 Copyright 2011
