The Rose

THE ROSE

In A Field Of Green
Under Sky Of Blue
A SIngle Rose 
That Grows So True
Held With Care
Not Pricked By Thorn
With Tenderness
So Loves Not Torn

A Poise That Is
Forever Time
Holds A Heart
Within It's Mind
For Not One Flower
Can Contend
Compare It's Love
A Rose Can Send

It's Blossomed By
Sweet Nourishment
Yearns For More
Tis' Not Content
In Passed Time
The Petals Fall
That Shielded Core
Beneath It's Walls

It Withers
As The Days Flow By
Behold The Beauty
In Ones Eyes
A Tattered Shell
Shed's In The Wind
To Return...
To It's Begin
