Rose
~~~
Oh, the beauty of a single rose
In crimson gown and fragrant nose
Where sun and rain has given birth
To what lovely rises from the earth
~~~
In budded youth, so tightly clasped
Upon yourself your wings collapsed
Until the warmth in days of June
Brings the moment for you to bloom
~~~
Every day, you fill my simple world
With your red petals now unfurled
And I look on with great delight
For me, there is no greater sight
~~~
Flora in all its given perfection
Love found in the living reflection
In you, where my hope ever grows
Oh, the beauty of a single rose
~~~
commonsensiblyspeaking 
such a lovely ode to the simple and stunning beauty
Thank you, my friend!
Beautiful ❤🌟🌱🌹💫🌿
God has created more beauty in a rose than man has in his history…
Very well written and a beautiful idea and message Brad. All the best and a great week to you.
Thank you, my friend!
You’re very welcome!
Wow! Your thoughts are as beautiful as the rose!
Thank you, Balroop! Very kind of you to say!
Beauty in its essence. You make me love roses even more! Just beautiful, Brad!
Thank you, Karla! Hope you are feeling better.
You’re welcome my dear friend. I’m headed to Dr this morning for X-ray as this awful cough will not let up (my ribs hurt 😞)! But it could be worse. I must get it taken care of as I have board meeting and two school visits coming up! I’m staying positive! Sending love and hugs to you for good health and peace! 🤗💛
I can see and smell the roses 🌹 with your words. Such a gorgeous piece sharing and celebrating the beauty in nature’s gifts. Love the style of this piece as well Brad. Hope the rest of your week will be truly blessed. Hugs and love Jonikins ❤️
Thank you, Jonikins!
