In the popular novel The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown ,Throughout the book Brown has described the infamous ‘Rose Line’, better known as the Parisian Meridian, the once challenger to the Greenwich meridian.
A girl named Rose with a line came along
There was not much hype or a birth song
When her dad, a John along with her sweet mom
Took charge of their little one soon one morn
When a girl named rose with a line came along
To give her dad first a list to buy which was long
Grand father, a writer, a medal laureate from Pope,
A dramatist of his region, in his time, well known
In her family many artists, writers, poets, singers, roll
Authors, lawyers, headmasters, dramatists come all
But her dad did chart his destiny well but far from it
Education was a must for all his girls that he did
When she was born ,before her came a cousin Joe so cute.
A boy in the family after a long gap
Attention was there …much celebrations too
Pampered was the son, we all know why
Then a girl named Rose with a line came along
she had her mother’s arms, father’s love
a name, a face so cute to go by
“You will have to raise high
The wall over the house, ask me why?
To hold her from running away with a guy
Said George uncle to her mother looking at her tiny wee self
As he imagined how she could look, when she grew up well
How a girl named rose with a line came along
But run away she didn’t, while the scene was all set
The guy was quick to stand with a priest at her door net
Asking her hand against his family’s wish
That he marry a rich heiress and become rich
But convinced Rose was not by this his act
Soon she heard he was married and got scouted out
So this girl named Rose with a line was left behind
Destiny had but other plans
Settled she got by the turn of events
With a man who tolerated each of her act
She reared good sons, calls them bullocks of her cart
Roseline grew up reading books, a tomboy when little
with two male cousins to hang around like tender hooks
one from the mother’s side, he Tony
The other is dad’s brother’s son, Joe
The two of them smarter
Younger they were to her
But she looked upto them
They brought so much to the helm
Her love for English verses
The readers digest and JS
Developed in this phase
In the wilderness she roamed
Summer vacations at uncle’s homes
Climbing up guava trees ,berries and bilaiti imli to break
A long time ago ‘twas
Two jacks and a Jill they went all three
Of the two, Joe is no more
And Tony, American war veteran, now a preacher
Their contribution in her life was like a propeller
They got her the muse she has by her side
Life could not have been better
A good start, school mates and family did make
Care free and happy. they helped her to be
With a J and a K , a Rose with a line
How an author, poet, songwriter aligned
Her name she changed the spell, a numerological take
Change! the order which has forever been! her sake
Happy to be blessed with family and friends
They who know how a lady named Rose with a line came to be
A beautiful photo of you and your mama and to read
of your words in this fine poem.
Congratulations on your second book.
