~ONE
PERFECT ROSE~
Into my garden
of life, God planted for me
One perfect
rose, for the entire world to see
As I gazed
at my precious rose, I became aware
Of the awesome
power of love it came to share.
Exquisite in
its beauty, standing tall and proud
Not like any
other, unique among the crowd
Sharing its
beauty, with all who came near
Lessons it
was to bring, soon became clear
Unconditional
love, radiance rare
Opening petals
of love to all it held dear
Suffered the
thorns of life, but stayed strong
Its leaves
would dance for life was it’s song.
When it was
time for my rose
To leave its
heavenly scent behind
It left for
me a treasured gift
Love forever
entwined.
Now as I gaze
into my garden
Where my perfect
rose used to climb
I see the
little rose bud blooming
Again God’s
perfect design.
I miss you
my perfect rose,
My garden
now lays bare,
Except for
the single rose bud
I will cherish
with loving care.
