WHITE ROSE
Life is like a garden of white roses
Its beauty captures our eyes
Its scent draws us near?
Its smell opens our heart
To what is different in life
The white rose in my garden
Takes our breath away
We stand silently as we absorb its beauty
It penetrates my soul deep with in me
When I realize there is but one rose in a lifetime
That stands at your side
We wish its love to be pure and white
But its actions are like Humans
Its colors are slightly tarnished
As the pure white fades
We have shared each others joy
We have shared life's sadness
And never looked back on our losses
The white rose's beauty has its own glow
For each of its petals tells a story of its own
No petal in time is ever alike
Its love is a like a stem laced with thorns
For all the painful times we have cause each other
We both have learned and grown
Loving with each other is the easy part
Living in love does not come so easy
There have been times we both have caused hurt
That we cannot take it back with mere words
Our days grow shorter
Our time together has grown longer
Our garden has not always been blessed with our love
Each day brings another bloom
Every day brings much to learn!
In the end it was you who took my heart
