The Rose
by Linda M Hill → (All Poetry by Linda M Hill)
  
Share   Print  Save   Follow   Share on Facebook


As the opening of the rose
Our life unfolds
Each petal a mystery
Of a story untold
Rich, velvet texture
Holding such beauty within
Life's fragile flower
To strong to bend

************************

One small petal falls
To the ground
One dream broken never
To be found
Facing the sun
Reaching for the sky
Thorns get in the way
Sometimes make us cry

************************

Like an open book
With no chapters to read
A blooming rose
Started with a tiny seed
Delicate petals holds
All our hopes and plans
Though some may wither
Our dignity still stands

*************************

May all of you have a
Blessed 2004
And remember the red rose
That we all adore
May your petals shine with
Beauty and LOVE
I pray this year brings you
Everything you dream of

© Linda Hill 2003

You are the guardian of the Rose, a sensitive soul among the beauty and thorns of the family Rosaceae (attempting to seem informed here), your passion for life and love pulsates throughout your poetry. Well done.

Words about a rose ... penned by a Rose !!

As one who has also written about the qualities of a rose, it is interesting to see that others identify that which I could see .... and more !!

Well done Linda
