This Rose, The Rose
You bring to me a sweet-scented rose,
Flavoring and enhancing the moment,
Uniquely as a crowning cap,
A personification of love, this flower, the rose,
An ultimate gift exquisitely wrapped.
For a rose in its’ giving, petal on petal,
Serves to cushions life’s thorns that pierce and unsettle,
Ah, a treasure indeed, this flower, the rose,
With beauty abounding, as everyone knows
So, I’ll possess it and press it as the moment itself,
Keeping it forever present, retaining all that was felt,
And though it lies in repose, I’ll always remember
This flower, the rose.
