The Rose

A beauty all its own
No other can compare
A flower unlike others
Could anything be so rare.

At birth a tiny bud
Unfolding each new day
Revealing its beauty slowly
For too soon it will decay.

Petals as soft as velvet
Thorns to prick your skin
A scent unlike any other
A mystery lies within.

Love the implication
When a rose you do receive
The beauty, scent and mystery
Like love we wish to cleave.
